Water Quality in Watercourses of the Kyrgyz Mountain Environment

About this book

Language: English

The book is a collection of papers on water quality in the watercourses of Kyrgyzstan. An international team has analysed the hydrochemistry, bacterial communities, and chemical elements in mosses and aquatic invertebrates as well as in the bones of herbivores in Kyrgyzstan. The analyses come from more than 200 samples from different regions of Kyrgyzstan and give a fairly comprehensive overview of the quality of the waters of Tian Shan. The book is the result of a Norwegian-Slovakian-Kyrgyz project. It contains more than 200 image analyses of the hydrochemistry of the waters, lists of bacterial genera, as well as macrozoobenthos occurring in the Kyrgyz waters.
