At present one of the most important problems of water management in accordance with requirements of Water Frame Directive (WFD) is counteract of worsen on water bodies condition and to end of year 2015 achievement good conditions all waters. For surface water “good state” be appointed by “the good ecological state”. Ecological conditions accordance with FWD determined biological quality elements, helped by hydromorphological and physics – chemical quality elements. It to it fully match the requirements the FWD to assessment of quality of surfers waters was one should introduce hydromorphological assessment. It in many European countries, in this also in Poland, the row of methods was has worked out was taking into account the integrated methods of assessment of quality rivers. Methods these by biological component and phisics – chemical the structural features of surface waters take into account in this: hydrological regime, continuity of river, morphological conditions. In article will be introduced applied in countries of European Union the comparison of methods with applied in Poland in the light of recommendations the FWD and standards of CEN. ...
The Smortawa River, the right-hand sided tributary of the Odra River, is a typical lowland river which sources are located at 175 m a.s.l. south-east from town Namysłów. The mouth is located in km223–350 of Odra River, on 124 m a.s.l. near town Jelcz. In the lower and upper course the river is improved and in the middle course it has kept its natural character. At present according to Water Frame Directive and Polish Water Law we are obliged to create an assessment of ecological state of rivers. One of elements of this assessment is the analysis of hydromorphological parameters variability as supporting parameters for biological assessment. In the article the characteristic of hydromorphological parameters by polish methods of Ilnicki and Lewandowski are are introduced. They describe the changes of these parameters on every separete research section. Moreover with the help of the probability analysis by the Ward method, the similarity is estimated among studied hydromorphological parameters. ...
The aim of the study was presentation of results of ecomorphological evaluation of Canal Mosiński, based on field investigations. The pioneer field method was applied, it was worked out in Department of Environmental Protection and Management, Agricultural University in Poznań in 1995. The investigations were performed within over 22 km long section of Canal Mosiński, the left tributary of Warta river. The object was divided in 37 homogeneous sections which, one by one, were analyzed by taking into consideration the morphometrical and hydrographic features as well as physical and chemical quality of water. The results pointed at low ecomorphological value of water-course (IV category of naturalness). The object in majority was classified to IV and III category. Only short fragments in lower and upper run were classified under category II. ...
