surface water

Investigated and reviewed data regarding the relationship between heavy metal content in the gross and soluble form in water of the Danube. Calculated the average ratios identify the contribution of dissolved forms of metals such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper and nickel in their gross content in water of the Ukrainian part of river Danube. Impact of migration of heavy metals on their content in the bottom sediments

Purpose.The testing the method of environmental assessment of surface water quality in terms of the use of biological indicators. Methods. Biological and hydrobiological. Results. To evaluate used quantitative and structural indicators of zoobenthos (TBI, BBІ), zooplankton (saprobity index) and phytoplankton (saprobity index, biomass and chlorophyll «a»). The results of the environmental assessment of the quality of waters of the river Seversky Donets River and its major tributaries within the Kharkiv region on biological indicators of surface water quality, which are used in the method of environmental assessment of surface water quality (edition of 2012). The values of the generalized biological index (ІБ) of the average values of indicators show that the water researched areas of the rivers belong to the II and III water quality classes and graded as "good" and "moderate" as "clean" and "contaminated" by the degree of purity (contamination). Areas with the worst values of biological indicators summarizing experiencing the greatest anthropogenic load. BBІ more sensitive reacted to anthropogenic pressure and had a larger range of changes than TBI. Conclusions. In assessing the ecological status of water bodies is absolutely necessary to consider the role of the biological component to display the actual state of aquatic ecosystems. In assessing the ecological status of water bodies is absolutely necessary to consider the role of the biological component to display the actual state of aquatic ecosystems, which reflects the degree of wellbeing ecosystem of the water body as a whole.

With the use of monitoring information were calculated index modular and integrated environmental assessment of surface water quality of the river Western Bug and its tributaries for the years 2013-2014, defined class and category of water quality in the basin of the Western Bug. Surface waters of the Western Bug and its tributaries correspond II - III class quality. Excess of pollutants recorded for ecological-sanitary indicators (NH4+, NO2-) and specific substances toxic effects (Fe).

The contribution of separate divisions of a national economy of Vinnitsa region to pollution of a surface water, because forming of quality of natural waters can be estimated on volume upcasts wastewater in water objects. It was systematized and processed information on the main indicators of a fence, use and up cast of waters (including the pollutants in the wastewater), on industries of industry, separately on basins of the rivers (Southern Bug, Dniester, Dnepr, – within the limits of area) and as a whole in the region.

The questions about the role of the aquatic ecosystems biological component in the formation of sediment were reviewed. The role of aquatic organisms (phytoplankton, higher aquatic plants, invertebrates, and other groups of organisms) in self-purification of aquatic ecosystems and the formation of sediments were analyzed.

The spatial distribution of heavy metals in abiotic components of aquatic ekosystems rivers depends pri-marily on landscape (natural) features of the area which is formed by runoff. Determining for the rivers and their areas under human influence becomes surface runoff from urban areas, wastewater and recycled water intake with feeding groundwater.The basic factors that influence the formation of the quality of the sediments in the river Seversky Donets and the accumulation of heavy metals were reviewed. Determined that a higher content of metals in the sediments have an average with a high content of silt and clay, which can be explained both by the chemical composition of the clay soil, and the ability to absorb himself in the metal from the aqueous phase.

The article presents the dependence between results of composition waste and surface water according to physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics. It was found the lack of statistically significant linear de-pendence between the results of bioassay and measurement of physical and chemical composition of the wastewater chemical and petrochemical plants and water bodies of water, which were taken above and below wastewater discharges. For mine water from the drive it was installed a weak correlation between bioassay results and their physi-cal and chemical composition, but the corresponding regression equation proved statistically insignificant, for water of water bodies, which are discharged mine water, it was set the average measurement between the above indicators.

For research of intercommunication between the levels of toxicness and muddiness of water were drawn on the results of measuring of component composition and determination of toxicness of sewages of enterprises of the different industries of economy, located on territory of a few areas of Ukraine. It is shown that in each of cases the set of meaningful physical and chemical indexes which correlate with data of biotesting is different and depends on component composition of sewages. The brought results over are base on the use of far of experimental data and have an important practical value for the exposure of reasons of origin of toxic properties of sewages with the purpose of realization of corresponding nature protection measures on their removal.
