Naturally-occurring wetlands perform such functions as flood control, pollution filtration, nutrient recycling, sediment accretion, groundwater recharge and water supply, erosion control, and plant and wildlife preservation. A large concentration of wetlands is located in Eastern Europe. A significant amount of Eastern European wetlands has been converted to agricultural use in the past, and remaining wetlands are subject to agricultural drainage. Drained wetlands are used as prime agriculture lands for a variety of food crops. Other agricultural uses of wetlands range from growing Phragmites australis (common reed) for thatch and livestock feed, to collecting peat for heating and cooking fuel. Altered hydrologic regimes due to global climate change could further exacerbate encroachment of agricultural land use into wetlands

The some features of the species composition, abundance and biomass dominating of the microalgal fouling on the seaweeds and woody substrate have been revealed in the experiment had realizated in the natural conditions.(in Ukrainian language).

Y. CHATZINIKOLAOU and M. LAZARIDOU. Identification of the self-purification stretches of the Pinios River, Central Greece Mediterranean Marine Science. Volume 8/2, 2007, 19-32. Abstract: The Pinios River basin in Thessaly, Greece, is intensively farmed and heavily polluted with poorly treated domestic and industrial waste. The river was divided into 35 homogenous stretches. We investigated the self-purification capacity along the different stretches of the Pinios based on the responses of the benthic macroinvertebrate community to municipal, industrial and agricultural pollution in the basin. Water quality was assessed by the performance of six diversity and biotic indices and scores for assessing water quality. Self-purification found by the downstream amelioration of water quality was evident at five stretches. These stretches should be safeguarded and priority should be given to restoration projects along the most water-quality-degraded stretches that lack the capacity for self-purification.

Intra-basin spatial approach on pollution load estimation in a large Mediterranean river . – Desalination. 2010 (1 January) Volume 250, Issue 1, Pages 118-129.ABSTRACT: In order to find the segments of Pinios River which lack the retention capacity of the BOD and nutrient input, the difference of the estimated input and output pollution loads was compared at upstream and downstream clustered areas of a total of 73 segments. Catchment areas ranged from 1 to 11,300 km2. Emissions were always higher than the actual transport, therefore retention was assumed to take place. Specific runoff, percentage of the surface water area and the calculated input of pollution loads (BOD, P, N) varied between the different Pinios River basin catchment areas. The transport to the emission load ratio was different between large and small catchments. The rate of retention among consecutive segments revealed that four lowland segments lacked in their relative retention capacity

Ostroumov S. A. Biodiversity Protection and Quality of Water: The Role of Feedbacks in Ecosystems. Published in the journal entitled: Doklady Biological Sciences, Vol. 382, 2002, pp. 18–21. On PubMed, on SpringerLink. Translated from the best Russian scientific journal, DAN (Reports to the Russian Academy of Sciences). A new fundamental principle was proved in the paper: to maintain the water quality, it is necessary to protect the functionally active biodiversity of water ecosystems. In other words, protection of the functionally active biodiversity of aquatic organisms in a water body is a method (and an indispensable one) of maintenance of water quality in this ecosystem. Also, the author reports new experimental data on how detergents inhibited filtration activity of marine bivalves, mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, and oysters Crassostrea gigas. http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/5152_TextsOnlineFree; http://www.scribd.com/doc/42558469;
