SUMMARYThe objective of this study was to estimate the impact of land use on the surface water quality. Water samples were collected in the main drainage channel, in the agricultural area of Lonja field, Croatia. Lonja field is the largest protected wetland in both Croatia and the entire Danube basin. It extends along the river Sava and the lower course of the river Lonja. Sampling was performed during the spring months in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Investigation was done through the measurements of physicochemical indicators: pH value, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), concentration of oxygen, nitrate, phosphate, trace metals (Zn, Pb and Cd), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and surface active fraction of DOC. The obtained results were compared with those of the Lonja and Sava rivers. The significant higher concentrations of DOC (up to about 13 mg C dm -3 ) have been observed in the water from main drainage channel. It is known that, high DOC concentrations in surface waters have negative effects on the water quality and water habitats.

“…Concentrations of heavy metals in drainage water did not indicate pollution (Table 10), which is in agreement with the results obtained by Moore (1981) and Moore and Sutherland (1981), Ðumija et al (1989) and Èoga et al (1998). Different average Zn concentrations were recorded in the three-year trial period (the same may be assumed for Pb and Cd, due to detection limit flame AAS) per years and per drainage system variants.…”

The goal of the investigations was to assess the average contents of heavy metals (Pb, Zn and Cd) in the surface soil layer (030 cm), in drainage water and their uptake by growing plants, in the experimental amelioration field for four different variants of drainpipe spacing (15, 20, 25 and 30 m) during the three-year period. Maize and winter wheat were grown in all variants throughout the trial period. In all variants of drainpipe spacing, heavy metals in soil, drainage water and plant material were within the limits. The highest average level of Pb was 13.5 mg.kg 1 , Zn 88 mg.kg 1 and Cd 0.7 mg.kg 1 in soil. Drainage water concentration of heavy metals was below 50 µg.dm 3 for Pb, below 2 µg.dm 3 for Cd, while the highest average value of Zn amounted to 20 µg.dm 3 . In grain of the crops grown, the concentration of Pb was below 0.4 mg.kg 1 and that of Cd below 0.1 mg.kg 1 .

The concentration of total arsenic and five different arsenic species [As(III), As(V), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), dimethylarsenic acid (DMA), and arsenobetaine (AsB)], were measured in the muscle, liver and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of five different fish species [lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), northern pike (Esox lucius), white sucker (Catostomus commersoni) and longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus)] from Back Bay, Great Slave Lake, near the city of Yellowknife, NT, Canada. The total concentration (dry weight) of arsenic in muscle ranged from 0.57 to 1.15 mg/kg, in the liver from 0.42 to 2.52 mg/kg and in the GIT from 1.48 to 8.92 mg/kg. Among fish species, C. commersoni had significantly higher total arsenic concentrations in the GIT than S. vitreum, E. lucius and C. clupeaformis, and higher total arsenic concentrations in the liver than C. clupeaformis. The mean concentration of As(III) and As(V) in the muscle of all fish ranged from < or =0.01 to 0.05 mg/kg and < or =0.01 to 0.02 mg/kg, respectively, and together comprised < or =7.5% of the total arsenic measured in muscle. The concentrations of MMA were below detection in the muscle of all five fish species. However, AsB and DMA were measured in all fish species and nearly all fish tissues. The concentrations of AsB ranged from 0.01 to 0.13 mg/kg and the concentrations of DMA ranged from <0.02 to 0.45 mg/kg. The majority (>50%) of organic arsenic in almost all of the tissues from fish caught in Back Bay was not directly identified. Evidence from the literature suggests that most of these other organic arsenic species were likely trimethylated arsenic compounds, however, further analytical work would need to be performed to verify this hypothesis.
