Physicochemical Characteristics and Hydrochemical Typology of Waters in the Yavoriv National Nature Park

Article Preview

Abstract:

This scientific work conducted a hydroecological analysis of water bodies in the Yavoriv National Nature Park territory. The methodology for assessing the hydroecological state of the Yavorivsky National Nature Park territory is presented. The leading hydrochemical indicators, such as total water mineralisation, biogenic substances, organic substances, dissolved gases, trace elements and pH level, were analysed. Modern analysis methods were used, including spectrophotometry, titration, gas chromatography and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results allow us to determine the quality of the park's water resources and develop recommendations for their protection. The leading physicochemical indicators of water were studied, including organoleptic properties, gas composition, mineralisation and content of biogenic substances. It was established that the park's waters are characterised by a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction, low gas saturation and the absence of hydrogen sulfide sources. The main hydrochemical types of water are calcium bicarbonate and sodium-calcium bicarbonate. Concentrations of nutrients and heavy metals do not exceed permissible standards, which indicates a satisfactory sanitary and chemical condition of water bodies.
