Abstract
The aim of our study was to examine the situation with heavy metals in water and stream sediment
of Kozjak lake and Treska river, and to recommend measures to prevent pollution. Water quality and sediment
was examined of aspect of the content of six very important chemical elements known as heavy and toxic metals, including:
lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and arsenic (As). Modern methods of laboratory
testing of chemical elements were applied: Atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectrometry
method with double plasma (AES-ICP) method and the atomic absorption spectrometry electro thermal (ETAAS).
Total of 120 samples were analyzed in water and 48 samples in stream sediments. The paper will also indicate measures
to protect the Kozjak lake and Treska river from possible contamination. Especially significant role for Kozjak
Lake was building the Dam for production of electricity HPP "Kozjak", which is the biggest artificial dam in the
country. But despite this, the Kozjak lake already used as protection from floods Skopje, fishing, еко-lake tourism but
need to think and plan about using for potable water for irrigation of crops, but also as an alternative water supply of
the city of Skopje.
