The Borska Reka river (47 km long, 373 km2 of basin area) is located in eastern Serbia and it is the biggest tributary of the river Veliki Timok. It is also one of the most polluted watercourses in Serbia. Using the data of the Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia, the paper analyzes water pollution using the combined physical-chemical WPI index (water pollution index) over two periods: 1993-1996 and 2006-2009. The analysis of parameters showed significantly increased values of heavy metals (especially iron and manganese) which are indicators of inorganic pollution (primarily because of mining), but also increased values of organic pollution indicators (Biological Oxygen Demand-BOD5, ammonium, coliform germs), as the result of uncontrolled domestic wastewater discharge.

The Sub-DAS Riam Kiwa is a tributary of the Martapura upstream, which is often used by the community to cover daily needs such as cooking, washing, and latrines. The current quality of water condition of the Sub-DAS Riam Kiwa is estimated to have decreased caused by various human activities on the riverbank. This study aims to determine the strategy of controlling river water pollution. The river as a research area is set at 24.4 km. Water quality was measured and observed at 3 sampling points then analyzed using the Pollution Index method. Analysis of water pollution control strategies was using SWOT Analysis. The results showed that the Sub-DAS Riam Kiwa was classified as moderately polluted with an IP value from upstream to downstream of 7.88; 8.92; and 9.38. To maintain water quality in natural conditions a water pollution control strategy is needed through diversification of existing strategies or programs as a result of 1) strong internal factors including the monitoring of water quality, water quality standards; and 2) the many threats from external factors which include the disposal of domestic waste and livestock without recycling, the community does not have the knowledge of waste and the community often violates government regulations.

Based on the monthly monitoring data in the Xinlicheng Reservoir from 2008 to 2011 in 3 zones (fluvial, transitional and lacustrine), 6 water quality variables were selected as evaluation indicators to evaluate the water environmental quality by improved Nemerow comprehensive pollution index method. The results indicated the reservoir water quality reached classII or III during the study period and met the requirements of centralized drinking water. No significant differences (P > 0.05) for Nemerow indexes were detected among seasons and zones. However, that Nemerow indexes slightly decreased along the longitudinal axis of reservoir showed the water quality in the lacustrine zone was better than that in the fluvial zone, which implied the reservoir ecological system had self-purification function. The improved Nemerow index method based on weight is objective, and the pollution factor with maximum weight is total phosphorus (TP) which is followed by ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and total nitrogen (TN). Water quality protection strategies should focus on controlling nutrient emissions and prevent eutrophication, including exogenous governance and endogenous control.
