“…Monitoring for the purpose of drinking water supply for the population at various control and measurement points should include nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen in assessing the level of pollution (Cheung et al 2003 ; Bharti and Katyal 2011 ; Barbaruah et al 2012 ; Gu et al 2014 ; Jasmin and Mallikarjuna 2014 ; Dash et al 2015 ). Water usability is the primary criterion in the scale of surface water quality assessments (Terrado et al 2010 ; Ahmed et al 2014 ; Lychagin et al 2015 ; Dąbrowska et al 2017 ). The quality assessment is based on the value of several dozen physical, chemical, and biological indices (Bhutiani et al 2014 ).…”

The formation of many sources of pollution in a short period of time is due to mountain soil erosion by water. One of the major mechanisms decisive in the intensification of such erosion is the loosening of soil material on the slope. Water quality studies show the impact of diversified spatial management and allow making the right decisions in environmental management in mountain areas with high variability of use and land cover. The research undertaken as part of the paper was carried out in order to determine the dependency between total suspended solids (TSS) and the physicochemical parameters of surface waters and the amount of soil losses in the use structure within the mountain catchment. The paper focused on the frequency of phenomena in time and the possibility of stopping the surface runoff on the slope and on the soil’s susceptibility to water erosion. The dependencies between multipoint sampling and the concentration of material washed off the slope due to precipitation were verified with a multivariate analysis. Sampling took place in hydrometric sections, and during small floods, in the waterbed cross section. Research shows that such sampling is the basis for the calculation of the transported load, reflecting the average variation in concentration. The variation in the volume of the load from the individual parts of the catchment was assessed by the spatial autoregressive model. It was found that the use of river basin areas affects water chemistry. Water reservoirs are an important ecological barrier for the migration of nitrate nitrogen (N-NO3) and phosphate phosphorus (P-PO4), which is marked by changes in the growing season. Water along the sections of the river near the quarry with a high degree of sodding showed good quality condition. Despite significant differences between measurement sampling sites, high total dissolved solid (TDS) values were found in communities adjacent to forests and meadows. However, the highest electrical conductivity (EC) and TSS concentrations were found in the interface with cultivated areas. Biogenic indices showed variation depending on the way the adjacent areas were used. GIS linked spatial variables with the formation of water pollution. The analysis of spatial autoregression pointed to the impact of arable land. Moreover, the analysis of spatial autoregression with the MESS function designated a connection between agricultural land use and nitrite nitrogen (N-NO2), EC, TSS, and dissolved oxygen (DO).

“…These functions are influenced by various characteristics of the river deltas, such as their size, morphology, river channelization, and vegetation. The efficiency of the filtering function of sediment and contaminant flows that enter river deltas is critical for the water quality of the downstream water body (e.g., Meybeck and Vörösmarty 2005), since delta areas are the final buffer zone before water enters the receiving basin (Ajao and Anurigwo 2002;Buschmann et al 2007;Chatterjee et al 2009;Lychagin et al 2015;Santschi et al 2001;Shaban et al 2010). These filtering and retention functions of the geochemical barriers highlight the need for the research in the outlets of the rivers experiencing increased human pollution.…”

The Selenga River delta: a geochemical barrier protecting Lake Baikal waters

et al. 2016

The protection of Lake Baikal and the planning of water management measures in the Selenga River Basin require a comprehensive understanding of the current state and functioning of the delta's ecosystem and hydrogeochemical processes. This is particularly relevant in light of recent and expected future changes involving both the hydrology and water quality in the Lake Baikal basin causing spatiotemporal changes in water flow, morphology, and transport of sediments and metals in the Selenga River delta and thus impacting on delta barrier functions. The central part of the delta had been characterized by sediment storage, especially along the main channels, causing a continuous lift of the delta surface by about 0.75 cm/year-1. Theses morphological changes have a significant impact on hydrological conditions, with historical shifts in the bulk discharge from the left to the right parts of the delta which is distinguished by a relatively high density of wetlands. Regions with a high density of wetlands and small channels, in contrast to main channel regions, show a consistent pattern of considerable contaminant filtering and removal (between 77 and 99 % for key metals), during both high-flow and low-flow conditions. The removal is associated with a significant concentration increase (2-3 times) of these substances in the bottom sediment. In consequence, geomorphological processes, which govern the partitioning of flow between different channel systems, may therefore directly govern the barrier function of the delta.

The Cerrillos reservoir is located in the city of Ponce, is one of the most important reservoirs in the southern area of Puerto Rico. The purpose of this research was to analyze the presence and concentration of heavy metals in Cerrillos de Ponce Reservoir as part of a monitoring of water quality. For this investigation a simple sampling was made in threepoints of the Reservoir Cerrillos de Ponce for a period of nine months that were identified like zones A, B and C. These samples were analyzed by an Optical Spectroscopy Emission Coupled Plasma Inductor (ICP-OES 3300 XL). In the results obtained it was demonstrated that the elements Silver (Ag),
