Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In many regions of the world, water is a factor limiting economic development. Due to global climate changes, further adverse changes in access to water resources are expected. Under these conditions, good water quality becomes an extremely important factor that determines its economic utility, including water supply, recreation, and agriculture. The quality of water depends on many factors, the most important of which are related to human impact on water ecosystems, especially the impact of various pollutants from municipal economy, industry, and agriculture. Hydrotechnical changes, such as river damming, drainage processes, and water transport between catchments, also have a significant impact. Water quality is also dependent on the impact of natural conditions (climatic, catchment, water organisms, and their interactions within food-webs).
The planned Special Issue will contain the results of research on changes in water quality under the influence of various natural and anthropogenic factors, including the following:
- The impact of dam reservoirs and lakes on river water quality;
- The impact of various restoration methods on water bodies;
- The effect of water blooms, especially caused by cyanobacteria;
- The impact of catchment use on the quality of water in small water bodies;
- Specific pollution of freshwater ecosystems;
- Contamination caused by stormwaters, etc.
