**Visit to the Water Treatment Plant in Novoselija**
On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, students of grades III and IV who attend elective Biology classes visited the Water Treatment Plant in Novoselija. They were joined by students actively participating in the educational and environmental project “BioAqua Cycle – Cycle of Water, Life and Recycling”, accompanied by biology teacher Tanja Marić.
The students were introduced to the functioning of the water treatment plant by Sandra Bešlagić, BSc in Chemical Engineering Technology, from the Water Quality and Ecology Sector. They received useful information on how only high-quality and hygienically safe drinking water is delivered from the Vrbas River to consumers.
A particularly interesting part of the visit was the tour of the laboratory, where students became familiar with the laboratory’s organization, the methods and analyses carried out, as well as the glassware, devices, and instruments essential for water testing.
This visit provided an excellent opportunity for students to connect their previously acquired theoretical and practical knowledge about water and water quality analysis.
We would like to thank the Water Supply Company of Banja Luka for their hospitality, professional guidance during the visit, and kind reception.
This activity was implemented within the project “BioAqua Cycle – Cycle of Water, Life and Recycling”. The project is supported by Blue LightS – the 2nd Call for Blue Challenges in European Schools, based on the European Union mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030”. This call for proposals is part of the BlueLightS programme – EnLIGHTening Future Schools to Deliver BLUE Sustainability in Europe, funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme.
