Methods for management of eutrophication in freshwater ecosystems in Vojvodina

Abstract

Many techniques are available for improvement of water quality within the body of reservoirs: artificial mixing and oxygenation, sediment removal, sediment aeration, sediment covering, phosphorus inactivation, biomanipulation (fish management), hydraulic regulation, algaecides, light reduction, macrophyte control and ecoremediation. Ecoremediation presents a sustainable use of natural and creation of artificial ecosystems for environmental protection and restoration with a special importance for the Vojvodina water ecosystems, due to their seasonal pollution patterns and overall lack of fresh water in Republic of Serbia. ERM is already established as perspective long-term approach, utilizing natural processes and such that imitate natural processes, and systems in favor of the remediation of degraded ecosystems and environmental protection. .
