The Features of Eutrophication Processes in the Water of Uzh River

Abstract

The chemical and hydrobiological analyses of water quality of the Uzh river of Korosten district and the city of Korosten of the Zhytomyr region were conducted. The influence of anthropogenic loads on the river eutrophication processes was estimated. The peculiarities of the course of eutrophic processes in the reservoirs of the Uzh river basin within the Korosten district and the city of Korosten were established. As a result of research, it was found that the phytoplankton in the surface waters of the Uzh river of Korosten district was represented by diatoms, as well as green, blue-green, euglenophytic, golden and dinophytic algae. Periods of their intensive reproduction were revealed for all departments of algae. Seasonal fluctuations in the content of biogenic elements of phosphorus and nitrogen dissolved in oxygen water, as well as their influence on the development of certain departments of algae were revealed. Statistical modelling of the processes of development of blue-green, and green algae as well as diatoms in the river Uzh of Korosten district on the average values of their content for less than three years was conducted. Changes in the qualitative and quantitative composition of algae during the year were used to build the models. The obtained experimental data and their revealed features were generalized in the form of linear and nonlinear statistical mathematical models of eutrophication processes. The general appearances of the functions that describe these processes; numerical values of the coefficients of the function and graphs were constructed as well as modeling errors were defined.
