Technical monitoring
Monitoring of surface water and sediments in the Grand Backa Canal in autumn 2008/winter 2009 hydrological season is done in the framework of UNDP Serbia project component. The objective of this monitoring is to provide guidance data about the quality of water for the CWWTP design and overall data of surface water quality for the relevant authorities. Monitoring will also provide data about the sediments to support development of technical documentation for the “Remediation of the Grand Backa Canal” in Vrbas.
