Ecological monitoring of overgrowing of the GRES reservoir

Hydrobiological monitoring is currently widely used in the study of the water quality of cooling ponds of thermal power plants. With a high level of anthropogenic load, overgrowing gives a reliable integral result of the overall ecological condition of the reservoir. However, there is insufficient volume of actual field studies and their analytical processing in the scientific literature. In this study, an analysis of the ecological state of the object overgrowing was carried out, the main types by seasons were determined and the relationship with anthropogenic activity was established. The study showed an insignificant area of overgrowing of the reservoir surface, as well as the absence of a positive effect from the placement of biomodules. The research results expand knowledge about pond overgrowing, and can also be useful to a wide range of environmental specialists
