In a period with frequently occurring hydrological extremes, research on areas with a high retention potential is brought into focus. The Šumava Mountains peat bogs are important parts of the landscape in the headwater area of the Otava river basin. The study objective is to describe the variability of discharges and the dynamics of groundwater level changes in various types of peat bogs, and to identify connections between observed physico-chemical water properties. This is assessed by basic statistical methods. The rainfall-runoff process and physico-chemical water properties can be affected by many factors. In this case, strong relations between the observed parameters were identified along with considerable differences in the involvement of various types of peat bog sites in the runoff process. It is evident that the peat bog pattern and its vegetation cover have an essential effect on the hydrological regime and water properties stored in a peat bog.

AbstractIn the microbenthos of the Czarna Staszowska River (south-eastern Poland), the diatom Geissleria declivis (Hustedt) Lange-Bertalot & Metzeltin, a species rarely noted in Poland, but also in Europe and the world, was recorded. In this study, the taxonomic, morphological and ecological analysis of the diatom species is presented. Also, the specific geological structure of the region of Poland, and physico-chemical water parameters of the river where the species was now observed, are described. The water of that section of the river where G. declivis occurred is included in the oligosaprobic to beta-mesosaprobic zone (Water Quality Class I-II). Limestone and gypsum are the main components of the geological structure of the river valley. Accompanying species of G. declivis were: Achnanthes pusilla (Grun.) De Toni, Amphora copulata (Kütz.) Schoem. & Arch., Fragilaria brevistriata Grun. in Van Heurck, Fragilaria pinnata Ehr., Geissleria decussis (Hust.) Lange-B. & Metz., Hippodonta capitata (Ehr.) Lange-B., Metz. & Witk., Hippodonta costulata (Grun.) Lange-B., Metz. & Witk., Navicula concentrica Carter, Navicula cryptocephala Kütz., Navicula novaesiberica Lange-B., Navicula rostellata Kütz., Nitzschia archibaldii Lange-B., Parlibellus protractoides (Hust.) Witk., Lange-B. & Metz. Taxa that are indicators of very good water quality were: Achnanthes peragalli Brun & Heribaud, Achnanthes subatomoides (Hust.) Lange-B. & Arch., Achnanthidium kranzii (Lange-B.) Round & Bukht., Cymbopleura hybrida (Grun.) Kram., Navicula densilineolata (Lange-B.) Lange-B., Navicula notha Wallace, Nitzschia fibulafissa Lange-B. Taxa preferring waters rich in calcium and chalk were: Aneumastus stroesei (Ostrup) Mann & Stickle, Diploneis parma Cleve, Hippodonta lueneburgensis (Grun.) Lange-B., Metz. & Witk., Navicula gottlandica Grun. in Van Heurck, Navicula jakovljevicii Hust., Navicula moskalii Metz., Witk. & Lange-B., Sellaphora mutatoides Lange-B. & Metz., Sellaphora pseudopupula (Krasske) Lange-B. Navicula oppugnata Hust.

Objectives: Urinary schistosomiasis is known to be endemic in the lake Nokoué areas of the District of So-Ava. For the past ten years, the National Control Programme for Communicable Diseases of the Ministry of Health has been making efforts to control schistosomiaisis morbidity through mass drug treatment with Praziquantel. This study aimed to assess the diversity and dynamic of potential snails known as schistosomiasis intermediate hosts. Methodology and Results: This study was carried out for 12 months (from July 2015 to June 2016) and consisted in the periodical analysis of the physical and chemical water parameters (temperature, oxygen concentration, pH, nitrite and nitrate rates. Salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and, biochemical oxygen demand) in relation with diversity, distribution and relative abundance of freshwater snails (Bulinus forskalii, B. globosus and B. truncatus). To this end, seven harvesting sites on Lake Nokoué were, reasonably selected for monthly hydrobiological and malacological data monitoring. The results showed a variable correlation between the dynamic of schistosomiasis intermediate host snailsm and several physico-chemical water parameters. Bulinus globosus was negatively influenced by salinity and nitrate rates while B. forskalii was negatively influenced by pH, Oxygen, TDS, salinity and nitrate rates. The three species of freshwater snails were strongly influenced by the water temperature. Conclusion: The results suggest a seasonal schistosome transmission induced by the seasonal dynamic of intermediate host snails. Water quality seems appropriate to the development of host snails from December to March and would be the strong period of schistosomiasis transmission. However, furthermore studies will need for well understanding the dynamic transmission necessary for developing adapted strategy control.

AbstractThe study presents habitat and phytosociological analyses of the Chara intermedia phytocenoses, rare described in Europe. 16 physico-chemical water parameters were analysed, coming from the samples taken in 20 phytocenoses of 13 lakes located in western Poland. The analysed community appeared in naturally shallow lakes representing last stages of the disappearance of glacial water basins. The study attempts to estimate the bioindicative value of the charophyta meadow Charetum intermediae in relation to its habitat. A particular attention has been paid to the determination of the habitat trophic condition, and to the concentration of elements connected with the hardness of water and the content of humic substances. The study shows crucial habitat gradients of the C. intermediae association, taking into account also the species composition of phytocenoses.

AbstractStudies were carried out in eight woodland water bodies that are situated in an urbanised area of Southern Poland (Upper Silesia). The aim of this study was to determine the influence of auto- and allochthonous plant detritus and exposure to sunlight on the structure of snail communities in woodland ponds. Among some physico-chemical water parameters, pH influenced the occurrence of snails, whereas sunlight caused an increase in diversity of the snail communities. In the total snail collection, 72.1% of specimens were gathered in sun-exposed sites. By the same degree of insolation more preferred by snails were the sites with allochthonic detritus. The snail fauna of subsidence ponds located inside a forest area differs from those occurring in urban agglomerations. The most conspicuous difference is the high numbers in three woodland ponds of Hippeutis complanatus (L.), which is rare in this area.
