Abstract

Problems of determining average annual values of pollution load generated by rainwater in urban areas are analyzed. The quality of water and coastal sea can not be planned and improved without a proper access to relevant information. Several methods are currently used in this calculation. Typical ones are presented in the paper. However, as the method for calculating an annual pollution load in karst areas has not as yet been developed, the authors present main features of a new method and use Kastela bay to illustrate the method.

Keywords
