“…Reservoir Otapy-Kiersnówek was established in the municipality Brańsk on the river Nurzec in 2008. Its surface area is 4.8 ha, the average depth 1.6 m, and the retention capacity 62 thousand m 3 . The land occupied by an investment accounted for pastures of V class and small areas of agricultural land of III and IV classes.…”

“…Jasionówka reservoir was created in 2001 in the waters of R-71/2 ditch, which is supplied by waters of Brzozówka river, which is a left tributary of the Biebrza river. Its area is 2.03 ha, the average depth 2.3 m, and the retention capacity 41.6 thousand m 3 . The bottom of the reservoir is not very diverse and on most surfaces there are pieces of clay and sand-gravel formations.…”

“…The first point was located within the tributaries, the second in their central parts, and the third at the mouths of the reservoirs. Following items were determined in collected water samples: total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations in accordance with obligatory methods [Hermanowicz et al 1999]; moreover, chlorophyll "a" concentration according to standard PN-ISO10260:2002 by means of spectrophotometric method in a range of 30÷80 µg/dm 3 . In order to assess the trophic status of such small retention reservoirs, it seemed to be unimportant to determine water transparency.…”

The study aimed at comparing changes in the trophic status of waters in two small retention reservoirs "Otapy-Kiersnówek" and "Jasionówka", located in the Podlasie region, which have a similar way of management and the similarity of catchments, using the TSI trophy indicators. The obtained results show that total phosphorus is the limiting factor in both reservoirs. Analyzing the average annual value of TSI in the tested waters, it was found that both reservoirs can be classified as hypertrophic. Trophic state of the tested waters is strictly dependent on the processes taking place in their vicinity. The reservoirs revealed a clear effect of a surface runoff on water quality. Factors that favor the poor quality of water in both reservoirs are unfavorable morphometric conditions of reservoirs due to their small depth, which allows continuous mixing and strong heating of water in spring and summer. Additional causes can include an open space around the reservoirs and the lack of high vegetation that would shield the edges against the wind, which facilitates often mixing of waters to the bottom and resuspension of bottom sediments, which in turn increases the concentration of phosphorus in water.

“…improper fertiliser management) and a result of dispersing the elements unused in plant and animal production into the environment. Numerous studies (Strauch et al 2009, Jagus and Rzetala 2012, Burt et al 2013, Szczykowska et al 2015, Melland et al 2018 prove that in catchments with agricultural activity, the water in rivers and reservoirs is often characterised by high fertility, i.e. excessive concentration of biogenic substances, which may result in eutrophication.…”

The content of biogenic substances, i.e. ammonia (NH 4 +), nitrates (NO 3-) and phosphates (PO 4 3-), in the mountain stream waters was studied. The test (zero) sample was the water flowing from forest areas, while the study samples included the water from the streams flowing through extensively used sheep pastures. The impact of grazing on the water quality during high (in the rainy season) and low (in the dry period) water flows was assessed. The studies demonstrated the water contamination with ammonia, particularly during the rainy season. The contamination was also present in the test sample, so it cannot be attributed to the grazing activity. The highest nitrate concentrations were reported in the dry period. An influence of grazing on the migration of nitrates into waters was found, however, on a scale causing no contamination. The water contamination with phosphates was found. The studies demonstrated that extensive grazing did not affect the fertilisation of mountain stream water, yet the water quality may be deteriorated by the surface runoff processes and soil cover erosion.

“…Reservoir sediments are composed of contributions of two main sources, natural erosion products and agricultural over erosion-products (Fonseca et al, 2010;El-Radaideh et al, 2014). As a result of chemical and physical processes that they may undergo during cycles of transport and temporary deposition, fine particles may act as important vehicles and buffers of environmental pollutants, which tend to be strongly sorbed to very fine particulate surfaces (Gilmour and Riedel, 2009;Ghrefat et al, 2011;Szczykowska et al, 2015). Sediment accumulation decreases the value of reservoirs, as the water storage capacity decreases over time and the quality of water progressively decreases due to the continuous chemical and biological exchanges between bottom sediments and the water column (Fonseca et al, 2010(Fonseca et al, , 2011.…”

Surface sediments of Al-Wala Reservoir central Jordan, were evaluated to characterize trace element distribution and sources related to various physicochemical variables. Metallic micronutrient distribution is determined by grain size analysis, parent material in the catchment, and anthropogenic activities. The suitability of reservoir sediment as a source of natural additives for replacing eroded topsoil was assessed by comparing the physiochemical characteristics of bottom sediments to normal worldwide soils. Textural analysis of bottom sediments is mainly composed of very fine-grained facies (clayey-silty facies), characterized by high content of different types of clay minerals and organic matters, medium-high cation exchange capacity, and optimal pH ranges for availability of most micronutrients. Among the metallic micronutrients measured: Fe, Zn, Cd, Cu and Mn, total abundance of Zn and Cd slightly exceeded the recommended safe levels for normal soils, but these concentrations my are decline when the sediments are exposed to air. Comparing our results with natural soils, it can be concluded that clayey-silty facies sediments can be considered as a good source of non-manufactured additives, whereas coarse-grained (sandy and granule facies) sediments as a good agricultural soil.
