Environmental improvement of comprehensive assessment of water quality and water bodies

Abstract

The paper provides the analysis of major methods, applied in the system of water monitoring for comprehensive assessment of the water environmental condition and quality in water bodies. The most widely spread methods used for these purposes are those of estimating water pollution factor and water quality environmental index. Comprehensive assessment of the environmental condition and quality of surface water are improved by extending the existing methods via identifying the extent of the impact on ecosystem water, depending on water toxicity levels.
