Physical and chemical factors are dynamic in nature, anthropogenic activities can affect these changes. The residents have used Kware Lake as a source of drinking water, irrigation, fishing activities. destruction structural buildings inside surrounding the lake served impetus for this investigation. Selected physicochemical were identified, three study locations (Inlet, Mid, Outlet) chosen. For period six months, monthly samples water sediment taken (October 2021 to March 2022). amounts Ca+ , Mg+ SO4, NO3 found be significantly changed across months when measured using standard methods, although, Na+ values not there was little seasonal variation electrical conductivity (EC). However, at p<0.05, variables pH, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Ammonia (NH4) indicated significant difference months. Additionally, according investigation, no appreciable variations conductivity, organic carbon (OC) clay between February 2022, elevated pH EC concentrations observed. To ensure that continue use daily, continuous monitoring is necessary

The basin of the small river studied here (the Vezelka River, Belgorod Oblast European Russia) is located within an urban area (22% basin). This circumstance determines its specificity as object synergetic anthropogenic impact. purpose work was to develop and test approaches integral assessment hydroecological situation both in watershed riparian zones based on hydrological, hydrochemical, hydrobiological data estimates soil erosion, water quality, pollution bottom sediments. selection River for study due presence there two intakes a town with population 2439 people per sq. km, repeated deepening riverbed, fact that single regional small-river hydrological station (although are 567 rivers < 25 km long Oblast). Analysis 1951–2021 showed steady decline discharge since 1991; thus, over past three decades, has decreased by 2.4 times. reduction length network region 38% 250 years assignment (at 10 gauging stations) 3–4 quality classes (extremely heavily polluted) indicated exhaustion possibilities self-purification water. These large medium were clearly confirmed investigation studied. In summer low-water periods, maximum allowable concentrations fishery bodies exceeded 2–10 times terms Cu, Fe, ammonium, oil, biochemical oxygen demand. reconstruction floodplain–channel subsystem river–valley landscapes substantiated final stage concept nature management, replacing continuous channel without proper erosion control measures organization buffer along banks.

The explosion at the Kahovka dam led to formation of new dried-up areas bottom Reservoir, which have specific relief and mechanical composition soil. Vegetation that has been forming in those for over one year now is already undergoing first stages succession characterized by high spatial non-uniformity. study consisted three main stages: analysis dynamics outflow from reservoir development a scheme hydrographic network site reservoir’s bed, soil cover, vegetative cover. We analyzed possibility combined use data ground monitoring remote sensing course consequences drying. According reports Ukrainian Hydro-Meteorological Center State Service Ukraine, chronology emptying Reservoir was created. hydrological regime newly formed territory identified using series satellite images. dataset compiled Level-2 images Landsat 8 9.
