«МОНІТОРИНГ ПРИРОДНИХ ВОДНИХ ДЖЕРЕЛ КАРПАТСЬКОГО НАЦІОНАЛЬНОГО ПРИРОДНОГО ПАРКУ» (2019) – ПЕРША В УКРАЇНІ МОНОГРАФІЯ ПРО ДЖЕРЕЛА

Abstract

The monograph “Monitoring of springs of the Carpathian National Natural Park” is presented and analyzed in the article (authors R.L. Kravchynskyi, V.K. Khilchevskyi, M.V. Korchemlyuk, O. M. Stefurak / Ed. by V.K. Khilchevskyi), published in 2019. This is the first such monographic study of of springs in Ukraine. It presents the results of monitoring studies of natural of springs in the territory of the Carpathian National Natural Park (field surveys, studies of the hydrological regime, chemical composition of water). Inventory and accounting of springs is included in the plan of annual nature conservation activities held in the park. There are all the necessary conditions for a comprehensive study of natural groundwater output to the surface – scientific, logistical and informational base. In 2019, after the grant of two wetlands in the Carpathian National Park (Prut and Pogorelets) international status and their inclusion in the list of wetlands protected by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Imports of International Imports especially as Waterfowl Habitat, 1971 – the study of environmental components, including springs, becomes more relevant and practical. About 40 expeditions were conducted to investigate springs in three major natural complexes in the Carpathian National Nature Park: Skibov Gorgany, Yasin-Verkhovyna Inter-Mountain Basin, and the Chernogorsky Massif. In the hydrological aspect, these are the basins of the Prut River. About 300 objects were covered by the monitoring studies. As a result of the analysis of literary sources, summarization of the information obtained in the expeditions, laboratory conditions and during the camera processing of materials, a considerable amount of data has been formed for writing the first monographic study in Ukraine on this subject, structurally consisting of eight sections. The methods used in the study of of springs and interpretation of data are presented. The book notes that in our time the multifaceted structure of the ecological and functional significance of natural of springs can be the subject of interdisciplinary research, including natural, technical, economic, often medical, and sometimes humanities. The necessity of increasing attention to the monitoring of natural of springs from environmental experts – geographers, hydrogeologists, hydrologists, ecologists, is justified.
