“…It was established that for urban reservoirs the change in the bankline is significant (˃ 5%), the bankline is straightened in almost all reservoirs, the banks of park reservoirs are strengthened by embankments. In natural conditions, water bodies of the region of southwestern Belarus are characterized in composition as calcium-sodium hydrocarbonate [5]. Based on the studies conducted, it was found that in the reservoirs of areas of private development of urboterrritories of southwestern Belarus there is a slight heterogeneity in the ionic composition of water, they can be described as calcium-magnesium hydrogen carbonatechloride ( Figure 1a).…”

In this work, hydrochemical and hydromorphological characteristics of urban reservoirs of southwestern Belarus in the spring of 2020 were investigated. Hydromorphological characteristics of reservoirs were determined by field methods and GIS mapping methods. Hydrochemical assessment of water quality of reservoirs in the spring period was carried out according to 15 indicators. Multivariate statistical methods were used to analyze surface water quality. Based on the analysis of hydrochemical and hydromorphological indicators, an assessment of the ecological state of the reservoirs of the urboterritories of southwestern Belarus in the spring period of 2020 was given. During the study, patterns of distribution of morphometric characteristics of the reservoirs within the studied territory were established. The analysis of hydrochemical characteristics showed that the water quality of urban reservoirs depends on the types of anthropogenic effects.

“…The developed weather conditions affected the ecological state of water bodies. During this period, the greatest transformation of the hydrological regime of water bodies takes place [4][5][6]. Therefore, the study of the ecological status of urban reservoirs during this period is of particular interest.…”
