Water and sediment samples were collected during summer of 2017 from the reservoirs: Garaši, Vlasina, Perućac, Zaovine, Međuvršje, and Sava Lake. Analysis of As, B, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were performed using inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Accumulation of elements in water and sediment samples varied among reservoirs. Elemental concentrations were higher in sediment than in water samples. Furthermore, elemental concentrations did not exceed the MACs prescribed for water. The concentrations of As, Cd, and Pb in sediment of all reservoirs were greater compared to their average concentrations in the continental crust. Concentration of Cr for Zaovine, Cu for Međuvršje, and Ni for Perućac, Zaovine and Međuvršje exceeded the MACs prescribed for sediments. A severe enrichment was recorded for Cd at all studied reservoirs, as well as for As at Garaši and Cr at Zaovine. Sediments of all reservoirs were contaminated; the least contamination wa...s recorded for a water supply reservoir (Garaši).
