The article analyzes the negative impact of river network value of 0.34 km/km2. In Ukraine, there enterprises and public utilities on the surface water quality of are more than 4 thousand rivers longer than 10 km, of the Western Bug River basin (within the Lviv region). The which 117 are over 100 km long. There are 0.25 km dynamics of changes of indicators of the main pollutants at six of rivers per 1 km of the country`s territory [1]. The control points (2016–2018) and the assessment of surface main source of nutrition of rivers and the formation of water quality for 2018 are presented. It is proposed to replace the control units on the Western Bug River and its tributaries water resources of Ukraine is the precipitation, which 3 in order to obtain more accurate information and improve the averages 366 km (or 609 mm). However, only a 3 work on the basin water management. small part of them (about 50 km , or 83 mm) forms an annual runoff. The remaining moisture is spent on Key words: control points, surface water monitoring, the evaporation. On average, 159 km3 of water enters the Western Bug River basin, surface water quality level. territory of Ukraine from its borders. Thus, the total water resources are 209 km3. 1. Introduction The main hydrographic characteristics of the rivers which indicate the development peculiarities of Water is the national wealth of every country, one the river system formation processes and surface runoff of the natural foundations of its economic development. are water intake area, number, and length of rivers, the Access to water sources determines the possibilities density of the river network, the slope of the river, and of industrial and agricultural development, location characteristics of river valleys. Depending on the water of settlements, organization of recreation and health intake area, length, water content, hydropower reserves, improvement of people. Traditionally, water users of suitability for water transport, Ukrainian rivers are divided Ukraine (industry, agriculture, and public utilities) for into large, medium, and small [2]. decades have been collecting/discharging water as an economic resource from water bodies and using water 2. Theoretical part energy (hydropower, water transport, fisheries, sports, and tourism). This causes the natural and ecological potential of the hydrosphere to be depleted. In 2014, in accordance with the implementation Ukraine is one of the least water-supplied countries of the provisions of the EU Water Framework Directive, in Europe. According to the reserves of local water 9 river basins were identified at the state level in 2014: resources per capita, there is about 1 thousand m3 of the Dnipro river basin, the Dniester river basin, the water per year, per capita of the European Union – an Danube river basin, the Southern Bug river basin, the average of 5.2 thousand m3 per year. Ukraine’s water Don river basin, the Vistula river basin, the Crimea river objects cover 24.2 thousand km2, which is 4.0 % of its basin, the Black Sea river basin, the Azov river basin [3] total territory (603.7 thousand km2) with an average and 12 basin units have been established. 126 Zoryana Оdnorih, Roman Manko, Мyroslav Malovanyy, Christina Soloviy The flow of the Western Bug River basin is In Ukraine, the control and conservation of formed on the territory of three states – Poland (49.2 % surface water is governed by the following legal acts: of the area) of Ukraine (27.4 %) and Belarus (23.4 %). the Law of Ukraine “On Environmental Protection", the The Western Bug is a left tributary of the Narew River Water Code of Ukraine (Article 16), the Law of Ukraine (the Vistula River basin).

    Characteristics and cross-border cooperation within the river basins of the FLOOD-WISE project ©2010 D.François, J. Kikken, P. Moiret, J. Paulzen and B. Stevens Zuyd University for Applied Sciences Maastricht, the Netherlands Edited by Dr. F. van den Brink Province of Limburg, the Netherlands Preface This report is written by 5 students of Maastricht Zuyd University for Applied Sciences, Faculty of International Communication, Department of European Studies, as part of the project Europe Calling ( February 2010 to June 2010), and as part of the preparation of the FLOOD-WISE project. The project group consists of 4 Dutch students: Jim Kikken, Bo Stevens, Jasmina Paulzen, Daphne François and one French exchange student, Pauline Moiret. The project has been supervised by Mr. Jean Pluis of Maastricht Zuyd University for Applied Sciences and coached by Dr. Fred van den Brink, senior policy advisor on water management of the Province of Limburg, partner/co-initiator of the FLOOD-WISE project and by Ir. Alfred Evers of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine, lead applicant/initiator of the FLOOD-WISE project. General Summary In this report the six different river basins of the FLOOD-WISE project are described: Elbe, Sava, Meuse, Western Bug, Somes and Rur. Their general characteristics, communicative aspects, legal aspects and policy aspects are elaborated on, which vary significantly for each river basin. The fact that they differ in geography brings along consequences for all aspects of the river and its catchment area. The Elbe is the largest river of the FLOOD-WISE project. The most important purpose of the river is waterway transport.

  • Typology of Rivers and Lakes Within the Ukrainian Part of the Vistula Basin (Bug and San) and Its Compatibility with Investigations in Poland
    Hydrogeologia, (2018) 2:47­55 ISSN 2544­3623 ARTYKUŁ PROBLEMOWY Typology of rivers and lakes within the Ukrainian part of the Vistula basin (Bug and San) and its compatibility with investigations in Poland Typologia rzek i jezior ukraińskiej części dorzecza Wisły z zastosowaniem doświadczenia Polski Valentyn Khilchevskyi1, Vasyl’ Grebin2, Myroslava Zabokrytska3, Tatiana Solovey4 Abstract: This article describes an investigation of the hydrographical network in the Ukrainian part of the transboundary basins of the Bug and San rivers entering the Vistula basin, carried out by the authors using the typology of rivers and lakes in line with the European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC requirements. The typology of the rivers is based on the typology system adopted in Poland. There are 5 abiotic types in the Bug river basin specified within the Ukraine. The small and medium upland rivers on carbonate or loess rocks dominate. Among the large rivers are the Poltva, Rata, Luga and Ryta. Four abiotic types of rivers are distinguished in the Ukrainian part of the San basin. The most numerous group consists of the small upland rivers on flysch rocks of the Carpathians. The analysis of the structure of the river basin networks showed that the small rivers form 98,5% of the total number (3115 rivers) in the Vistula basin within the Ukraine. Only 1,25% of the basin’s rivers form medium rivers. The percentages of large and very large rivers in the total basin streams are, respectively, 0,2 and 0,05%. There are 68 lakes within the Ukrainian part of the Bug basin, the majority of them (48 lakes, or nearly 71%) are in the category of very small lakes.
