Because of the importance of water for environment and human activities is necessary that we
manage the water sources responsibly. Slovenian Environment Agency does not conduct the
measurements of water quality in the Gameljščica catchment, therefore I analysed certain
physical and chemical parameters of water samples which I collected on five main tributaries
(Mlake, Gračenica, Poljšek, Gameljščica (which is named Graben upstream from confluence
with Poljšek) and Bašeljnov potok) on 14 locations. The concentrations of nitrates, nitrites,
ammonium, phosphates and chlorides were increased in most samples, which indicates the
effect of agriculture and in some cases also of golf course and fish farming.
