Department for Water Testing in Šibenik

The Department for Water Testing in Šibenik operates at the Škar Bay as part of the Main Laboratory for Water (MWL) of the Institute. Its primary task is to monitor surface inland water and groundwater in the southern Lika region and the entirety of Dalmatia across approximately 70 measuring stations. The staff conduct sampling and analyses of fundamental physico-chemical indicators, nutrients, and specific ions in water and sediment, using accredited methods. Although remotely located, the Department for Water Testing in Šibenik is integrated into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), ensuring full digital connectivity with the Main Laboratory for Water in Zagreb, both in terms of the database and quality control (QA/QC).
