Abstract:
In this article the quality of the waters of „Pchelina“ reservoir for the period 2007-2015 was analyzed by assessment of some physico-chemical indicators and selected priority substances. The analysis was made in accordance with the Ordinance H-4 of 14.09.2012 on characterization of surface water and the requirements of the Ordinance on environmental quality standards for priority substances and other pollutants from 01.11.2010. An integrated index for water quality, comparative and graphical methods were applied. The indicators, whose values exceed the legal norms and lead to pollution of the water quality of the dam, are determined. The possible sources of pollution of „Pchelina“ reservoir are identified.
