Sažetak
Municipal solid waste disposal site “Duplja” is situated close to the city of Novi Vinodolski (Primorskogoranska County, Croatia) and water source “Novljanska Žrnovnica”, which represents the major source of drinking water in the Croatian coastal region. The MSW disposal site is located in karst terrain and on it mixed municipal waste has been disposed since 1968 without any coverage or isolation of the landfill. In 2007, during the first phase of the landfill remediation a bottom liner with drainage system and leachate lagoon were constructed. This paper in a form of preliminary research investigates the possible past and present influence of the landfill on water source “Novljanska Žrnovnica” using selected heavy metals as indicators.
