Design of water reservoirs monitoring system using the example of Novosibirsk

Abstract

The paper considers the design of a monitoring system for water reservoirs in Novosibirsk, which are the most vulnerable from the point of view of anthropogenic impact, since the self-cleaning processes are quite limited in comparison with larger water areas. At present, the observations of reservoirs are fragmentary and not regular. To obtain complete and structured data, it is necessary to clearly define the monitoring program of water reservoirs in Novosibirsk, which will serve the basis for environmental reconstruction and rehabilitation of these water bodies. The monitoring program of water reservoirs should include the systematic individual and averaged data on water quality in time and space in accordance with methodological recommendations and technical requirements. A survey point should be set up on each reservoir. The water reservoirs should have a monitoring program that includes observations of hydrological, hydrochemical and hydrobiological indicators. A well-designed monitoring program will allow implementing an integrated approach to assessing the ecological state of water reservoirs in Novosibirsk from the standpoint of environmental quality estimation. A unified database will make it possible to assess changes in the degree of technological impact in order to develop recommendations for the rational use of water reservoirs.
