“…The Canadian Water Quality Index (CWQI) is applied in various studies of lakes and artificial lakes (reservoirs): the Polyphytos artificial lake in Greece [50], Wadi El-Rayan lakes in Egypt [51], Qu' Appelle Valley lakes in Canada [52], Lake Kinneret in Israel [4], reservoirs and lakes in the Ebinur Lake Watershed in China [53], accumulation lakes on the Olt River and Danube River in Romania [54], Djerdap Lake on Danube River in Serbia [46,49], and the Palić and Ludaš Lakes in Serbia [55,56]. The Water Pollution Index (WPI) is applied for water quality assessment in Fuxian Lake in the protected area in southwest China [57]; in Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China [58]; Ulansuhai Lake, the largest shallow lake of the Yellow River in China [59]; Qiandao Lake in China [60]; Soyang reservoir in South Korea [61]; Chungju Reservoir in South Korea [62]; the lakes Burabai and Ulken Shabakty in Kazakhstan [63]; Nasser Lake in Egypt [64]; the lake in the near od Dramaha Campus of IPB in Indonesia [65]; Lower Vaengskoye Lake in the Murmansk Region in Russia [66]; and Djerdap Lake on the Danube River in Serbia [49,67,68].…”

This study aims to present the potential for sustainable tourism development on Vlasina Lake, which is, along with its surroundings, declared as a Ramsar site, Natural Asset of Exceptional Importance, IBA, IPA, PBA and Emerald area. A survey conducted among the residents indicated that they expressed positive attitudes towards sustainable tourism development, even though a small percentage of them are employed in tourism. Considering the lake as the most valuable part of this area, this study emphasized water quality assessment as the necessary condition for sustainable tourism development. Water quality indices (SWQI, CWQI and WPI) were used for water quality assessment for the period 2013–2022. Based on SWQI, Vlasina Lake has a good to excellent water quality and, according to WPI, has clean water suitable for tourism and recreation. The CWQI for overall water quality ranged from marginal to good. It is the highest for recreation, but it is based on only one parameter (pH), which is the limitation of this methodology. Based on field research, survey, water quality assessment and previous studies, it is concluded that this area has favorable conditions for developing various types of tourism, which could contribute to the future development of this undeveloped and unpopulated area.
