The Uszwica river catchment is located in the central part of Lesser Poland province, within Brzeski and Bocheński districts. The river is 61.2 km long, and its catchment area is 322.5 km2. It is characterized by forest-agricultural land use and high share of residential areas of both compact (the city of Brzesko) and dispersed nature. In the abiotic terms, the Uszwica in its upper course may be classified as a flysch stream (type 12). From the moment of joining the Niedźwiedź, stream until its discharge into the Vistula at km 151+700 it is a sand and clay lowland river (type 19). Hydrochemical research were conducted in the years 2011 and 2012 at two measurement-control points – one located near the mouth of the river (point 1) and one located about 7.5 km downstream from the city of Brzesko (point 2). Each month 18 water quality parameters were determined and they underwent comparative and statistical analyses. Basic descriptive statistics were calculated for both measurement-control points. Then, they were used to determine the ecological potential of the river and to evaluate water quality parameters with respect to its suitability as fish habitat and eutrophication risk. Significance of differences between the values of individual parameters recorded at different measurement-control points was estimated using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test for α = 0.05. The same test was used to determine the significance of differences between individual parameters for the winter and summer season at each point. Analysis of the results revealed that water flowing via developed areas (point 2) was significantly less saturated with oxygen and contained higher amounts of suspended solids, organic matter and nutrients, as compared to the section of the river flowing mainly through extensively used agricultural areas. Therefore, the ecological potential of the river was considered good in its lower course and poor upstream from point 2. Disturbances in seasonal concentrations of some biogenic factors indicated high degree of water pollution in the middle course of the Uszwica. However, due to intense self-purification, water quality in the lower course was similar to that in natural conditions. On the entire investigated section of the Uszwica does not meet water quality requirements for salmonids and cyprinids, but the habitats are more favorable near the mouth of the river. Waterassessed at point 2 may be classified as eutrophic due to high concentration of total phosphorus.

Celem pracy jest ocena wpływu Zbiornika Goczałkowickiego na zamiany jakości wód powierzchniowych. Aby osiągnąć założony cel, przeprowadzono metodami referencyjnymi badania 20 fizykochemicznych wskaźników jakości wody. Próby wody pobierano comiesięcznie od kwietnia do listopada 2011 roku, w pięciu punktach pomiarowo-kontrolnych: pierwszy był usytuowano na dopływie rzeki Wisły do zbiornika, trzy kolejne rozmieszczono równomiernie wzdłuż czaszy zbiornika, natomiast punkt piąty usytuowano na odpływie wody ze zbiornika. Wartości każdego badanego wskaźnika scharakteryzowano przy pomocy podstawowych statystyk opisowych. Ponadto dane empiryczne poddano szczegółowym procedurom statystycznym przy użyciu analizy skupień oraz parametrycznego testu t-Studenta. Na podstawie analizy danych z przeprowadzonych badań ustalono, że z uwagi na złożoność procesów zbiornik retencyjny wpływa niejednoznacznie na jakość wody. W wyniku przepływu wód rzeki Wisły przez Zbiornik Goczałkowicki istotnie zmniejszyły się stężenia azotynów i azotu azotanowego, co potwierdzono statystycznie na poziomie istotności α = 0,05. Zbiornik również wpłyną korzystnie na obniżenie stężeń fosforanów, fosforu ogólnego, żelaza ogólnego i większości wskaźników zasolenia oraz pogorszył warunki tlenowe, co jednak nie zostało potwierdzone statystycznie.

The paper aims at the assessment of the Goczałkowice Reservoir effect on the changes of surface water quality. For this purpose, tests of 20 physicochemical water quality indices were conducted using reference methods. Water samples were collected every month from April to November 2011 in five measurement-control points: the first was located on the Vistula river inflow to the reservoir, the other three were placed evenly along the reservoir bowl, whereas the fifth was situated on water outflow from the reservoir. The values of each tested indicator were characterized by using descriptive statistics. Moreover, the empirical data were subjected to detailed statistical procedures by means of cluster analysis and t-Student parametric test. The analysis the data obtained from the conducted investigations demonstrated that because of the complexity of the processes, the retention reservoir differently influences the water quality. As a result of the Vistula river water flow through the Goczałkowice Reservoir, concentrations of nitrites and nitrate nitrogen decreased significantly, as has been proved statistically on the significance level α = 0.05. The reservoir also positively affected a decline in the concentrations of phosphates, total phosphorus, total iron and a majority of salinity indices, but worsened oxygen conditions, however, it was not statistically proved.

According to the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive, the Member States of the European Union are obliged to assess and report on the ecological potential of heavily modified and artificial water bodies; water reservoirs on rivers were also designated among them. The objective of this study was to gain more knowledge about macrophyte assemblages in reservoirs in Slovakia, where it was necessary to start analyses leading to the ecological assessment. The research was carried out in 14 multipurpose reservoirs during the vegetation seasons 2008–2010. Analyses focused on the determination of species composition considering the similarity between reservoirs, the impact of selected environmental variables on species composition and evaluation of the Macrophyte Biological Index for Lakes (IBML) in relation to its use for ecological assessment. In total, 60 taxa of macrophytes were identified. More than 90% of all determined taxa are indicators of IBML. The statistical analysis performed was based on the study of macrophyte assemblages and environmental variables and gave the following results: i) based on species composition, two main clusters of reservoirs were identified respecting altitude (reservoirs at an altitude above and less than 300 m a.s.l.) and affiliation to phytogeographical ecoregion (reservoirs in Pannonian lowland and Carpathians); ii) water temperature, followed by dissolved oxygen and chemical oxygen demand, were found to be the main environmental variables influencing the composition of macrophyte assemblages using DCA analysis. Water temperature and phosphates were determined to be the variables responsible for species composition using CCA analysis; iii) differences of the mean IBML values between clusters corresponded with the results of cluster analysis. A significant correlation was found between IBML and two variables: conductivity and alkalinity. Based on the results, it is recommended to use the IBML for analyses leading to the assessment of ecological potential based on biological quality elements.

Changes in ecological status of the lower Vistula River over the past two decades were evaluated. The 1990s saw dynamic changes in the Polish economy and increasing environmental awareness, accompanied by introduction of modern, effective treatment methods of wastewater discharges into rivers. Yet, extensive research on modern evaluation of aquatic ecosystems was only conducted in the first decade of the 21st century. Planktonic diatoms (mainly of the Centricae subclass) followed by coccal chlorophyta were the main groups determined to form the phytoplankton biomass in the Vistula River in Torun. A more significant contribution of other algal groups (including cyanobacteria) is only occasional. Application of phytoplankton multimetric index (IFPL) for rivers allowed assessment of water quality variations in the Vistula River. Phytoplankton of the Vistula River determined in the ‘90s was compared with that of the period of 2007–2015. The trophic index (TI) measured in the 90’s indicated poor ecological status of the river. Its value for both years of research (1994 and 1998) was 0.35. Over the subsequent twenty years the water quality significantly improved. Today, the TI value is 0.66, while the average phytoplankton multimetric index is 0.75, indicating good ecological potential of the Vistula River in Torun.

Dokonano oceny zmian potencjału ekologicznego dolnej Wisły w ciągu ostatnich dwudziestu lat. Lata dziewięćdziesiąte ubiegłego wieku charakteryzowały dynamiczne zmiany w gospodarce Polski, zwiększenie świadomości ekologicznej, a wreszcie wprowadzenie nowoczesnych i skutecznych metod oczyszczania ścieków odprowadzanych do rzek. Szerzej zakrojone badania nad nowoczesną oceną ekosystemów wodnych wykonano dopiero w pierwszej dekadzie XXI wieku. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że o biomasie fitoplanktonu Wisły na wysokości Torunia decydują okrzemki planktonowe, głównie z podklasy Centricae. Drugą ważną grupą są zielenice kokkalne. Znaczący udział innych grup glonów (w tym także sinic) jest sporadyczny. Zastosowanie multimetrycznego wskaźnika fitoplanktonowego (IFPL) w przypadku rzek umożliwiło ocenę zmian jakości wody w Wiśle. Fitoplankton Wisły z lat dziewięćdziesiątych został porównany z fitoplanktonem w latach 2007–2015. W latach dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku wartości wskaźnika trofii wskazywały na zły potencjał ekologiczny. W obu latach badań (1994, 1998) wartość ta wynosiła 0,35. Jakość wody po 20 latach uległa znacznej poprawie. Obecnie wartość wskaźnika trofii (IT) wynosi 0,66, natomiast średnia wartość wskaźnika fitoplanktonowego (IFPL) wynosi 0,75, co wskazuje na dobry potencjał ekologiczny wód Wisły w przekroju Torunia.

W latach 2012–2013 przeprowadzono badania potencjału ekologicznego wód powierzchniowych w obszarze Natura 2000 OSO Lasy Parczewskie. Analiza badanych cieków w oparciu o wskaźniki biologiczne jednoznacznie wskazała na ich antropogeniczny charakter. Niskie wartości wskaźników biologicznych wód badanych cieków były wynikiem parametrów hydromorfologicznych koryta. Cieki charakteryzowała niewielka szerokość i głębokość, okresowy brak przepływu wody oraz modyfikacje koryta. Chemiczne wskaźniki jakości wód powierzchniowych osiągały małe wartości, jedynie ChZT i fosfor ogólny osiągały duże wartości. Poszczególne wskaźniki chemiczne jakości wody były w różnym stopniu powiązane z wskaźnikami biologicznymi.

The quality of surface water in drainage ditches in an area of special protection of Natura 2000 Parczew Forests was studied in 2012–2013. The std. biol. and chem. indicators for various sampling sites were detd. periodically every 3 mo. and the resulting values of the indicators were processed statistically. The resulting low values of macrophyte river index and infusorial index pointed to a poor quality of surface waters. The highest changes were found for the phytoplankton indicator, depended on the sampling locations and time and indicated a good or poor water quality, resp. In addn., strong correlations were detd. between the biol. indicators (the presence of macrophytes and diatoms in water) and chem. ones (O and N contents in water and pH).
