Pollution reaches the receiving seas, e.g., considerable nutrient loads get transported into the Adriatic Sea via the Drin River. Related impacts were reported for many groundwater bodies as well, e.g., in the Neretva andTrcbiSnjica hydrogeological basin, the Stara Planina/ Salasha Montana and Tara. Although industrial activity has significantly declined in the Skadar/Shkoder sub-basin, unsustainable industrial wastewater management affects the quality of the lake, including sediments.
