Abstract

In this study the assessment of water quality of two water resources (depth 10-50 meters) in the municipality of Kamenica have been
investigated. Concentrations of some ions are determined using UV-VIS spectrometry. Statistical studies have been carried out by
calculating of basic statistical parameters and anomalies (extremes and outliers). By comparing with available results of three similar water
-samples in Kosovo, it can be summarized that water quality of two water-samples in the municipality of Kamenica is similar to the well
waters of Mirosala. From the results of field work and laboratory analyses it was found out that the well water does not fulfil the criteria set
by the WHO. The high value of Fe, Mn and turbidity pollutants indicated pollution by natural pollutants and from anthropogenic sources
like waste waters.
