It shows that the amount of flow was lower in 2008 and resulted with the increase ofvalues in some of the monitoring stations for this parameter in about 0.1 mg/l. In SitnicaRiver (at Mitrovica), the value reaches 0.685 mg/l, and in Vragoli also it is indicated anincreased value of 0.575 mg/l. It indicates for the poor water quality of this river. In 2009, anincreased values is registered at Sitnica River (at Mitrovica) with 0.548 mg/l, while the lowervalue measured as annual average is registered in Llapi River (at Reqicë) 0.046 mg/l.0.80.70.60.50.40.30.20.10Reqicemg/lMillosheveBablakLipjanVragoliPlemetinMitroviceKushtovPodujevedaljeMitrovicedaljeKelmendBresjeVragoliKrojmireVragoliPetroveDavidovceLlapi Sitnica Ibri Prishtina Graqanka Drenica ShtimjaViti 2007 Viti 2008 Viti 2009Figure 19: Nitrites in the Ibri River basinAmmonia (NH4+) – The monitoring station at Bresje in the Prishtina River, showed highervalues than other stations of the river basin. In 2007, these values ranged between 0.1mg/l in the Shtimja River (at Petrovë), to the highest value 13.5 mg/l in the PrishtinaRiver (at Bresje). There are not differences in 2009.
