Sanitary and microbiological status of surface waters of protected areas and traditional economic landscapes of the Carpathians in Pokuttia-Bukovina region

Abstract

The microbiological parameters of surface water as indicators of the ecological state of the Carpathians in Pokuttia-Bukovina region were studied. The water streams of the National Nature Park “Vyzhnytskyi”, where a specific ecosystem has been formed for more than two decades, were used as a standard for comparison. The possibility of using “biofilters” based on a synthetic carrier “Viia” for purification of natural water streams and raising the level of ecological safety of mountain ecosystems has been proved.
