Some aspects of water regime management of the Donje polje soil at Surčin

Abstract

Drainage system Galovica is situated in southeast Srem. It occupies the area of about 100,000 ha, it has a dense channel network of 30-40 m/ha, 2,575 constructed facilities and 11 pump stations. The main channel - Galovica is 40 km long and it is one of the basic receiving channels of the surplus internal waters from the area of southeast Srem. In addition to its basic purpose, this channel has recently also become the receiving channel of the municipal waste water, agro-industrial and processing waste water, discharged without purification and causing significant pollution of the water in the channel. The aim of this paper is to study the water in the Galovica channel and the possibility of its purification in the aim of its multipurpose utilisation, especially from the aspect of soil water regime management in the conditions of water deficit in the soil. The study area is the locality Donje Polje - PIK " 7. juli" . The study of water quality for irrigation shows that water quality is in harmony with the prescribed standards, pursuant to the Regulation on the admissible concentrations of hazardous and harmful substances in the soil and water for irrigation and the methods of their analysis. The water of the Galovica channel was subjected to the purification by the equipment of the Army of Serbia and the testing of chemical and microbiological characteristics of purified water shows that this equipment can purify the water of the third and fourth classes and make it sanitary safe, so that it can be used as drinking water, especially in emergency situations.
