The scarcity of groundwater monitoring in Kosovo, particularly in Lipjan, underscores the urgency to assess and safeguard this vital resource amidst escalating water demands and mounting pollution. This study addresses the critical gap in groundwater data by proposing the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring system. The primary goal was to develop a system capable of providing real-time data on groundwater quality and quantity within the capture area. Specific research objectives include the daily real-time monitoring of groundwater quality, identif ication, and quantification of contaminants in the aquifer, as a basis for further work on delineation of contaminant sources impacting the capture area, and monitoring and quantifying water extraction rates from individual wells, therefore establishing the necessary protection zones. Seven divers have been installed in 7 monitoring wells in Lipjan to measure the water level and pressure, as well as a multiparameter sensor for water quality monitoring for pH, temperature, specific conductivity, total dissolved solids, and dissolved oxygen. The digital monitoring system has been set up to input and log the incoming data. The aim was to gather this data, analyze it and use it to create a model and calibrate it to match the observed data. Concurrently, a sensitivity analysis was performed to prioritize data collection and establish which parameters have the most significant impact on the model outcomes. This ensures the establishment of a model which will, in the future, be used to predict and forecast groundwater levels and quality and determine protection zones.
