ABSTRACT
The river ljubljanica is situated in the southern part of the ljubljana basin in the country Slovenia. The old name of ljubljanica was “Leybach”. The river is 41 km long having a basin of 1860 km2. Ljubljanica flows in to sava river, the longest tributary of danube river. Inorganic nutrient ions and physicochemical parameters are important factors for developing river ecosystem. Algae are one important source of food for fishes, snails, crabs etc. It was observed that this river is a good habitat for algal colonization. Coliform count is important parameter of river water drinking permeability and result showed that river ljubljanica is not contaminated with faecal material. In this study we tried to find physico-chemical parameters, biologically significant ions, trace ions, micro algae present and coliform bacteria status of the river water.
Keywords: Ljubljanica, physioco-chemical parameters, ions, microalgae and coliform etc.
