In Kosovo, the supply of potable water from water sources is represented by about 40%. This study represents the geochemical analyses of sediments, spatial and statistical analyses of major elements in sediments (fraction A1>Mg>K>S>P>Na>Ba>Sr>Li> Rb>B>Ga>Cs>Be>Se. In terms of correlation analyses elements such as: Li. Be, Mg, P and Ba did not show significant positive correlation with any element. Cluster analysis of R-modality show a branch of dendogram linked with Ca. Al. Mg. S, K, P. Na, Ba, Sr, Cs, B, Ga, Se, Be, Rb and Li. Spatial distribution maps of major elements show that high concentration of Li, Ca and Ba were located mostly in the north part. high concentrations of B, Na, Mg, Sr and Cs were located in the north-east part, high concentrations of Be and Al were located in the north and south part and high concentrations of P, S, K and Rb were located mostly in the south-east part of the catchment basin. This high concentration of elements is impacted by the lithology of rocks and from minor influence of human activity (the case of P). |
