Thanks to the SMART-Water project, scientists are already engaged in exploration missions, and the results of the first measurements are expected soon. Vransko Lake, the largest natural lake in Croatia, is an extremely valuable natural resource and a habitat rich in plant and animal life. Regular water quality monitoring is essential for preserving its biodiversity and for ensuring the sustainability of local ecosystems and communities.
As part of the SMART-Water project, which is co-financed through INTERREG IPA HR-BIH-MNE PROGRAMME, the research team conducted detailed field sampling of the lake’s water using a multiparameter probe. This activity is one of many supported by the project to promote sustainable environmental monitoring and transnational cooperation. The collected key parameters include: water temperature, pH value, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen concentration and turbidity
These data are critically important for understanding the current state of the aquatic environment, as they allow continuous water quality monitoring and early detection of potential changes or pollution. We continue to monitor and analyze the data to ensure the long-term protection and conservation of this unique ecosystem.
