“…A review of biological methods applied in the monitoring of rivers in European countries reveals that indices of macroinvertebrate communities are one of the most widely used tools in the biological assessment of rivers. The studies which enable biotic index definition deal mostly with the macrozoobenthic community structure over a long time period to determine the dynamics of physicochemical parameters and their influence on freshwater biota (Fleituch et al, 2002;Fleituch, 2003;Buffagni et al, 2004;Munné & Prat, 2004;Artemiadou & Lazaridou, 2005;Gabriels et al, 2005). In Belgium there is the Belgian Biotic Index (De Pauw & Vanhooren, 1983), in Denmark the Saprobity Index (Pantle & Buck, 1955), in France the Global Biotic Index or IBGN (AFNOR, 1992); in Germany the Saprobity Index (Knöpp, 1954;Pantle & Buck, 1955); in Ireland the Quality Rating System (Flanagan & Toner, 1972); in Italy the Extended Biotic Index (IBE) (Ghetti, 2001); in Luxembourg the Biotic Index (Verneaux & Tuffery, 1968); in the Netherland the Quality Index (K135) (Tolkamp & Gardeniers, 1988); in Spain the modified Biological Monitoring Working Party (B.M.W.P.)…”

“…High alkalinity beneficial for assimilation, and the same use, located in water, nitrogen and phosphorus compounds are much more accessible than in an acid medium. Like high acidity, also clearly detrimental impact on organisms has excessive alkalinity of natural waters -pH above 9.0 [2,[25][26][27][28]37]. Have studied lake close to neutral pH -7.70 to 7.74.…”

“…To address the increasing degradation of the surface waters in the European Union, changed the approach to the evaluation and protection of water resources [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]32,35,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]51,[56][57][58]. This approach was formulated in the European Union Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), which requires the protection of water and ecological and comprehensive approach to its assessment [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]…”

Have studied lake close to neutral pH 7.70 to 7.74. All lakes in accordance with the classification of the European Union Water Framework Directive have been included in the first class. Studies have shown a diverse water quality in lakes in relation to tested indicators. By analyzing the average annual values can be noted that the pH of the water, the O 2diss and the concentration of NH 4 + , NO 2ˉ, NO 3ˉ, PO 4 3-diss showed a relatively small variation in all investigated Lakes. The level of the total suspended solids in Starzyc lake the peasant was on level II class. The concentration in the surface layer of P tot . Lake is little differentiated, is at level II and III quality class according to the classification of the European Union Water Framework Directive. In the case of nitrogen-compounds nitrates and nitrites values for these indicators were at level I and II class in all the surveyed lakes in accordance with the classification of the European Union Water Framework Directive. In 2008 attendance related macrofauna test bed showed that the most common they were mud-eating and larvae chironomids, oligochaeta (F = 100 %), which consisted of Tischlera classification of the species is absolutely solid. Among larvae of Chironomidae the species is absolutely integral were Chironomus f. l. plumosus (F = 100 %). However Chaoborus sp. belong to the accesoric species. Other designated species of fauna were accidental species of benthic (F) = 25 %. In 2009 attendance related macrofauna test bed showed that the most common they were mud-eating and larvae chironomids, oligochaeta (F = 100 %), which consisted of Tischlera classification of the species is absolutely solid. Among larvae of Chironomidae the species is absolutely integral were Chironomus f. l. plumosus (F = 100 %). However Asellus aquaticus Racov. and Chaoborus sp. belong to the accesoric species. Other designated species of fauna were accidental species of benthic (F) = 25 %. Fauna of the Starzyc Lake bottom during summer stagnation was poor in terms of quality, which proves its considerable biological degradation. In terms of the concentration in the test macrozoobenthos Lake dominated and Oligochaeta, Diptera larvae.

Have studied lake close to neutral pH -7.67 to 7.73. All lakes in accordance with the classification of the European Union Water Framework Directive have been included in the first class. The concentration in the surface layer of P tot . Lake is little differentiated, is at level II quality class according to the classification of the European Union Water Framework Directive. Tested water lakes were changing the concentration of the PO 4 3-diss -these concentrations correspond to water quality from III. The increase of the concentrations of phosphorus in the Lake may indicate a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the waters of the shallow and changes their status to release phosphorus compounds accumulated redox in sediment bottom. In the case of nitrogen-compounds nitrates and nitrites values for these indicators were at level I and II class in all the surveyed lakes in accordance with the classification of the European Union Water Framework Directive. Indicator, which indicates the high productivity of Lake is the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5 ). The level of this indicator values on the studied Lake was on level III class. In the remaining Lake oxygen concentration was similar (continued in I class). Fauna of the Resko Lake bottom during summer stagnation was poor in terms of quality, which proves its considerable biological degradation. In terms of the concentration in the test macrozoobenthos Lake dominated, and Oligochaeta, Diptera larvae.
