The Belgrade area is characterised by a rich system of canals that play a role in drainage
and waste water removal. These canals are more or less exposed to various anthropogenic
influences. On the other hand, some of them flow through the sanitary protection zones of
the sources of Belgrade's water supply. To assess the potential of these aquatic ecosystems,
we analysed macroinvertebrates from eight canals around Belgrade. Samples were collected
during the high and low water periods in 2022. In the high water period 70 taxa were
detected and in the low water period 53 taxa. The highest species richness was found in the PKB, Viselj and Karaš canals during the period of high water and in the Galovica canal
during the period of low water. The Chironomidae group had the highest frequency. The
period of low water was characterised by a uniform occurrence of taxonomic groups, while
during the high water period a higher proportion of Crustacea, Oligochaeta and
Chironomidae was observed. The low water period was characterised by a higher
proportion of predators, while a greater diversity of functional feeding types were found
during the high water period. The biological parameters indicate the II class of water quality
in the Viselj and Karaš canals, which indicates the importance of regular cana maintenance.
