This volume deals with water quality issues drawing on examples
from around the former Soviet Union. It commences by providing the
background to the natural water resources and composition of
surface and ground waters of the former Soviet Union and then
proceeds to examine the influence of human activity on those
resources and water quality systems. With unique material not
previously available in English, the text presents detailed
analyses of generic problems and possible solutions applicable
beyond the former Soviet Union. It covers: salinization,
eutrophication and acidification; heavy metal, organic and
microbial pollution; ecological state of water bodies; water
quality monitoring systems in the former USSR; and impact of
pollution on fisheries. With more than 200 line illustrations and
tables, the long term detailed case studies of the Lower Don Basin,
the Amy Darya river, the Rybinsk reservoir, the Dnieper river,
Lakes Baikal and Ladoga, and water resources in Moscow and the
Moscow region, should enable valuable lessons in environmental
management to be learnt. The text should be a valuable source of
information and case studies for professionals in government,
national and
