This study evaluates the water quality of Tamiš River, a tributary Danube, at Jaša Tomić and Pančevo hydrological stations from 2011 to 2016 2018 2022, using Water Pollution Index (WPI) seasonal analysis. The analysis revealed elevated nitrite orthophosphate concentrations both stations, with exhibiting extreme microbial contamination in 2015, attributed urban runoff, agricultural activities, inadequate wastewater treatment. Seasonal results indicate that while spring conditions align Class I standards, summer presents critical risks, especially Pančevo, where highest WPI value (26.47 2015) was recorded. Autumn shows stabilization, though sporadic peaks reflect impact nutrient runoff. Winter are marked by stability, favorable dissolved oxygen levels but occasional exceedances heavy metals, particularly Tomić. Increased suspended solids metals emphasize diverse pollution sources, including industrial discharges soil erosion. These findings underscore necessity integrated management strategies, such as treatment upgrades sustainable practices, mitigate pollution. Protecting River is crucial for supporting biodiversity, safeguarding public health, ensuring use this vital Danube tributary.
