Framework for investigation and evaluation of reservoir water quality in Czechoslovakia

  • Chapter
Comparative Reservoir Limnology and Water Quality Management

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 77))

Abstract

Framework for reservoir characterization, water quality sampling, methods for analysis and data evaluation for different parameters are given. The most important drinking water reservoir water quality parameter groups are covered: those related to stratification, to eutrophication, to organic matter changes and to bacterial populations. Simple models and/or quantitative evaluation tables are developed for most parameters. Fish populations are considered important regulator of zooplankton which subsequently regulates phytoplankton. Methods of results recording, processing and evaluation are given, with emphasis on computer storage, basic statistics, trend evaluation, dependence of water quality parameters on flow and material budgets. A new simple method for characterization of reservoir stratification is outlined. Consequences of the results for water quality management are divided into three groups: consequences for the watershed, for the reservoir and for the drinking water treatment plant.
