This research project focused on the influence of air temperature on water
temperature, pH value of water and nitrate and nitrite content in the Tršljavec
stream. Our aim was to determine whether there are relationships between air
temperature and different water parameters.
Through field and laboratory work, we made repeated measurements of air
temperature, water temperature, water pH value and nitrate and nitrite
content. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, it was confirmed that air
temperature has an influence on water temperature, while air temperature has
no significant influence on the pH value of the water. We also found that the
nitrate and nitrite content of the water is independent of the water
temperature.
