Оценка качества воды и донных отложений Северо-Крымского канала перед запуском основного потока воды по содержанию углеводородов и некоторым микробиологическим показателям (весна 2022 г., полуостров Крым)

Abstract

In the Spring 2014, the supply of Dnieper water to the North Crimean Canal (NCC) was stopped. The canal was previously used for centralized water supply and agriculture in the steppe part of Crimea. After 8 years, the active use of the Dnieper water in the Crimea requires comprehensive studies of its quality. Traditionally, microbiological studies are used to assess the ecological condition of water areas. In addition, it is important to monitor components of hydrocarbon origin such as aliphatic hydrocarbons. In general, the NCC waters by microbiological parameters (the number of heterotrophic, lipolytic and hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria) and the concentration of hydrocarbons can be attributed to the oligosapropic, low-polluted zone. According to the level of aliphatic hydrocarbons, the bottom sediments of the studied section of the NCC and the soil in the area adjacent to the canal are classified as naturally pure.
