Abstract
Water resources are an important tourist value of national parks (NPs) in
Serbia. The richness and significance of hydrographic resources are not
only represented in the river network and its hydropower potential, but also
in the recreational values and rare natural features of these phenomena. As
a particular user of natural resources, tourism modifies water resources
into something memorable, reachable to visitors, ?nd most often with
elements of attractiveness and curiosity. This research offers insight into
the possibilities for the development of water tourism in selected NPs in
Serbia from the perspective of the water quality of the most important
hydrological resources. Based on the use of the water pollution index (WPI),
the pollution level of the Drina River (Tara NP) and the Danube River
(Djerdap NP) has been calculated. The results indicated different degrees of
pollution and mostly organic pollution, which is a limiting factor for a
large number of tourist and recreational activities. The findings of this
study have important implications for the future policies of NPs in the
sphere of natural resource management and therefore the development of water
tourism.
