On some issues of maintaining water quality and self-purification

It is the first time that an innovative conceptualization is given of how the biota (all aquatic organisms) of aquatic ecosystem function towards improving water quality. Also, some new experimental data were generated and presented in the paper. The paper is useful to increase water sustainability, it could be useful in university education as well.

Volume 32, Number 3, p. 305-313. http://www.scribd.com/doc/57511892/0305 [Generalizations presented in this paper represent, in systematized form, the basic elements of the qualitative theory of water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Recommendations are given for maintaining water quality and sustainable development of water resources.
