“…Numerous studies conducted so far, prove that the waters flowing out of the catchments in settlement and suburban areas, especially in watercourses flowing through urban areas, are characterized by poorer quality indicators compared to those in agricultural areas [23,[48][49][50][51][52][53]. This is confirmed in our study by the mean and maximum concentrations of lead, cadmium and nickel determined in water of the watercourses on which the reservoirs of the Kraków agglomeration are designed.…”

The paper presents an attempt to forecast heavy metal pollution of sediments of four designed reservoirs in southern Poland. For this purpose, concentration of dissolved heavy metals (lead, cadmium and nickel) was determined in water of watercourses on which the designed reservoirs will be constructed and also in sediments and water flowing into six reservoirs that are already in use. Based on the results of the heavy metal concentrations of six exploited reservoirs, a relationship was developed between heavy metal concentration in the sediment as a function of the concentration of these metals in the inflowing water. Using these relationships, the forecast concentrations of these metals in the sediments of the designed reservoirs were estimated. The mean concentrations of these metals in the planned reservoirs were 20.5 mg. kg-1 for lead, 3.4 mg. kg-1 for cadmium and 14.8 mg. kg-1 for nickel. No dangerous pollution of analyzed metal of water inflows to the planned reservoirs was found. The calculated geoaccumulation index indicates that in terms of the lead and nickel concentrations, sediments in the planned reservoirs will be unpolluted to moderately polluted, while for cadmium concentrations - they will be moderately to strongly polluted.

“…Water quality parameters give the source for assessing the appropriateness of water for its selected uses and to improve existing circumstances [8]. Seasonal concentrations of phosphates, total nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen indicated high degree of water pollution [9]. Fast raise in urbanization and industrialization leads in to worsening in groundwater quality [10].…”

Water resources are most often polluted by increasing industrialization and human activates. Water quality issues have recently become a major concern. Therefore, it is essential to assess the quality of drinking water sauces. The present study was carried out in the different area of Kasargod district, Kerala. The ground water samples were collected during different seasons namely, pre monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon periods (2016)(2017). Water samples collected in at selected locations were analyzed for its physico chemical properties such as pH, color, Total dissolved solids, Electrical Conductivity, Chemical oxygen demand, Total Hardness, Calcium Hardness, Magnesium Hardness, Chloride, Sodium, Potassium, Phosphate, Sulphate and Nitrate.The water slightly acidic as the pH was below 7 in the monsoon at Cheemani and Perla (5.32±0.121 and 5.40±0.02). The TDS level slightly is higher in the monsoon at Swarga and Perla were 267.3± 6.025 and 255 ± 14.80 respectively. The analysis of the water quality parameter of the Kasargod district clearly indicated that all the parameter is within the limits. However, it is necessary to monitor the quality of drinking water regular interval on regional scale in order to ensure that the drinking water is safe for human consumption.

“…TSS-total suspended solids; DO-dissolved oxygen content; BOD 5 -five-day biochemical oxygen demand; COD-Mn-chemical oxygen demand. The highest average concentration of the total phosphorus was 0.03 mg dm −3 , and the highest average concentration of PO 4 3− was 0.08 mg dm −3 . The highest average concentration of the ammoniacal nitrogen was recorded at the level of 0.08 mg dm −3 .…”

“…If these substances occur in excess, they deteriorate the quality and utility value of water, and thus become pollutants whose sources can be divided into natural and anthropogenic [2,3]. The reasons for the first of them are rock aeration, the erosion and leaching of soils, clean precipitation, or the decomposition of dying plant and animal organisms [4].…”

The anthropogenic problems in richly sculpted areas (mountain and submontane) are mainly related to agricultural activity, which shapes the quality of surface waters. This paper presents an analysis of the results of the hydrochemical tests carried out in the years 2007–2018 at check-control spots. The heavy metal pollution index (HPI < 100) indicated a low risk for aquatic organisms. The statistical calculations obtained by means of multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) designated that the hazard quotient (HQ) index can be combined with the electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved substances (TDS) parameters used in the assessment of water erosion. The HQ index showed that the concentration of individual heavy metals is lower than their value in the 0.5 percentile of the value. In subsequent studies, it should be assessed whether the size of arable land has an impact on the increased concentration of heavy metals in the surface water. We recommend small retention reservoirs as a potential management measure to improve the quality of the surface water at a regional scale. This study has great potential to mitigate the degradation processes related to the insufficient storage capacity, and to promote natural water retention.
