U141,eriiZU .4une ;u1:171u TRACE ELEMENTS IN BOTTOM SEDIMENTS OF DNIEPER RIVER RESERVOIRS. 1 by Ye. P. Nakhshina [30]*1 The distribution of heavy metals in the bottom sediments of.Dnieper River reservoirs bad not been studied until recently, despite the fact that their role in the trace element cycle is extremely important. They are the "accumulators" (1) or "depots" (2) of trace elements in a body of water. It has also been es- tablished that bottom sediments have a high potential absorptive capacity with respect to the ions of heavy metals (3), which determines their important role. in the self-purification of water bodies. Many works have been devoted to the study of heavy metal distribution in sea and ocean sediments (4-9 and others). A study has been made on the distri- bution of trace elements in the bottom sediments of ponds in various biogeochem- ical provinces of the USSR (1, 10, 11), lakes of Kazakhstan (12, 13) and water bodies of Priazovye (14-16) and the Volga (17). * The numbers in the right-hand margin are the pages of the Russian text - translator. 00s-200-10-51 ^..:^ ^^ .,:.. +.u:.i'^;Aù:m^..k.^ .1•,G F^ ^.:... ^ .,,F.;,^_r.awhtï4 :.:,ti.;r.è..:cüs:+. 2 I The calculation of the total content of four bioelements (manganese, zinc, copper and cobalt) in the bottom sediments of the Kiev Reservoir, carried out in 1967 in accordance with the International Biological Program (18), was the begin- ning of investigations on the entire series of reservoirs on the Dnieper River. During expeditions in August-September 1968, we took samples of bottom sediments from the Kiev, Kremenchug, Dneprodzerzhinsk, Dnieper and Kakhovka reservoirs Inunediately after taking the samples, we measured the pH level in (see Fig.). the ground column, and then determined the hygroscopic moisture, the'losses due to calcinationl and the content of bulk manganese, zinc, copper and cobalt in air-dry samples in laboratory conditions. Si02 was extracted (20) after removing the organic substance by roasting the samples at a temperature of approximately 450-500°C; the manganese was iden- tified using the colorimetric method developed for soils (21); zinc, copper and cobalt were also identified colorimetrically, however, the techniques applied in soil analysis (22) were altered somewhat - copper was identified using diethyl-- dithiocarbamate of lead, and zinc by combined staining with dithizonate and dithi-- Calculations were made in absolutely dry weight. The obtained data were zone. processed statistically, establishing the mean values, the confidence range of variance, the coefficients of correlation r between various indices and the de-, gree of their reliability with the given number of samples. [31] On the basis of a granulometric analysis (23), we divided the studied soils into three groups (for convenient comparison and calculations), group I including slightly silty and silty sands, group II - sandy silt.s, and group III silts and clay silts.

Manganese. The content of bulk manganese in the bottom sediments of Dnieper River reservoirs varies within a broad range - from n.10-3 to n.10-1 %; therefore, the use of the term "trace element" in certain cases is unjustified, manganese being a macrocomponent of the soils. The mean values lie within a narrower range - from n.10-2 to n.10-1 %. The entry of manganese into the soils and its distribution in them is determined by a combination of factors - the pH level and redox conditions (24-26), the activity of microorganisms (25), and the content of organic 4 Table 1 Content of organic substancel in bottom sediments of Dnieper River reservoirs, % 11 Group 111 Group GrouD 4 ---- Er. 1 41.

Howeer, we were not able to establish any relationship between the pH values, and the content of bulk man- ganese. It has been established that in soils having pH values from 5.0 to 8.0, the organic substance reduces the mobility of manganese; an increase in the con- tent of organic substance results in the accumulation of manganese (27). A sim- ilar dependence is observed in the bottom sediments of Dnieper reservoirs. In the indicated range of pH values the mean content of manganese in various types of bottom sediments correlates quite well with the content of organic substance (r=+0.8 with a 99.2% confidence level).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Problems of rational water use and water quality assessment are the priorities of many states, especially in the basins of transboundary rivers. Creation and functioning of the cascade of Dnieper reservoirs led to a radical transformation of the hydrological regime of the Dnieper River. As a result, there occurred a significant deterioration of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of surface water quality, increase of its trophic state, reduction of the efficiency and stability of the aquatic ecosystem of the Dnieper basin, which is largely determined by anthropogenic factors. As a result of interpretation the series of space images (August, 1986-2016) of the satellites Landsat- 5, Landsat- 7 and Landsat-8 with a spatial resolution of 30 meters, the spatio-temporal trend of changes in physical (water transparency), hydrochemical (general phosphorus concentration in water), biological (chlorophyll-a) properties of water areas of reservoirs was determined. In studies trophic state index developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection was used to classify all types of water surface, including rivers. It is established that the value of trophic state index in reservoirs is distributed unevenly from 26.5 to 56.5.

  • 21019 an Integrated Method for Predicting Technogenic Flooding in Groundwater–Dominated Catchments in Kherson Region
    GEOINFORMATICS 2021 21019 An integrated method for predicting technogenic flooding in groundwater–dominated catchments in Kherson region *Y. Anpilova (Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of NASU), Y. Yakovliev (Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of NASU), O. Hordiienko (Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of NASU) SUMMARY Regional flooding caused by disruption of water-energy exchange between the surface and underground hydrosphere has become more frequent in Kherson region. The article analyses changes in the upper zone of regional hydrogeofiltration, engineering-geological and seismo-geophysical changes in the geological environment (GE). The anthropogenic factors and dynamics of the flood process formation and its ecological and anthropogenic impact on the GE are revealed. The quantitative characteristic of infiltration feeding of ground waters as the main eco-geo-information factor depending on natural- technogenic factors of its formation is given. The estimation and forecast of possible increase of a level of underground waters in the region, using GIS-technologies, and also the risk of emergencies in the system of functioning of industrial and agricultural potential of the whole region is shown. Geoinformatics 2021 11-14 May 2021, Kyiv, Ukraine Introduction Kherson region is located in the zone of regional drainage of ground and surface waters by the Black Sea and the Dnipro River. Active development, in recent decades, of water irrigation (up to 25% of the area), the damming of the Dnipro River as a regional drain (+ 14 meters above sea level), the construction of a large number of ponds (about 200) have led to a backflow of surface and groundwater.

Pešić: 15 November 2019 │ Published online 3 December 2019. Abstract In December 2016, the common perсarina Percarina demidoffii Nordmann, 1840 has been evidentiary detected in the Dniprovske (Zaporizske) reservoir for the first time. Two specimens of percarina were caught in the rowing channel area (the upper part of the reservoir) near the Dnipro city. One individual was caught there in 2017 as well. The paper presents their morphological characteristics, as well as a comparison with specimens from the brackish waters of the Dniester estuary (the Black Sea). The preliminary data allow us to assume that differences in some plastic characters may have adaptive character in relation to the environment. There are no any meristic differences between these fishes. It is noted that the new finding of this fish species in the cascade of Dniprovske reservoirs allows us consider P. demidoffii as not mesohaline but as a freshwater-oligohaline species. The finding of the common percarina in the Dniprovske reservoir confirms a few earlier published data about the advance of this fish upstream of the Dnieper River and extends its current range.

North America’s Great Lakes have recently been invaded by two genetically and morphologically distinct species of Dreissena. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) became established in Lake St. Clair of the Laurentian Great Lakes in 1986 and spread throughout eastern North America. The second dreissenid, termed the quagga mussel, has been identified as Dreissena bugensis Andrusov, 1897. The quagga occurs in the Dnieper River drainage of Ukraine and now in the lower Great Lakes of North America. In the Dnieper River, populations of D. poly- morpha have been largely replaced by D. bugensis; anecdotal evidence indicates that similar trends may be occurring in the lower Laurentian Great Lakes. Dreissena bugensis occurs as deep as 130 m in the Great Lakes, but in Ukraine is known from only 0-28 m. Dreissena bugensis is more abundant than D. polymorpha in deeper waters in Dneiper River reservoirs.
