Abstract
This paper presents a geoecological assessment of resources potentially available in or from shallow water bodies. It describes a case study as an example of how water bodies and coastal areas could be comprehensively analyzed, including microbiological testing, physical and chemical tests, testing water and bottom sediments for heavy metals, gamma spectrometry of soil samples, hydrological and hydroeconomic estimates. Experimental data is used to analyze the status of water bodies. Apparently, microbiological indicators are within the acceptable limits, and so are heavy metals. However, water sampled from Lake Oktyabrskoye has >10 times limit chromaticity and turbidity indicators, 10-11 times the limit chemical oxygen demand (COD). This indicates severe pollution and high concentration of organic substances. The presented approach to resource assessment could be of use when devising measures for nature-friendly restoration of water bodies.
