Water quality, quantity and safety have become major issues in Kosovo. The sustainability development of social, economical and political development of the region is very dependent on the health and quantity of the natural water resources. The monitoring of physico-chemical parameters of underground water of Blinaja catchment has a vital role in the conservation and management of water resources. Aiming to provide an integrating approach in terms of monitoring and mapping the water resources in the region, as well as ensuring the sustainability, several parameters have been evaluated. Thus, in order to assess the spatial variation of water quality in the Blinaja catchment river basin, 6 sampling stations were identified and 18 sampling was carried out. The results revealed variations in the temperature, conductivity, pH, total residue, DO, alkalinity, turbidity, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, Cl-, SO42-, HCO3- and NO3- values. The variations are mainly due to the stagnant or flowing nature of the water body. The increased amount values are recorded mainly in the locations close to the anthropogenic activities.
