Nutrients Regime in the Urban Waters

Abstract

Deterioration of water quality due to the pollution with nutrients is one of the most serious issues in Moldova. Analysis in many countries of the world shows that nitrogen and phosphorus circulate in environment and reach water ecosystems, causing eutrophication (algebloome) of water ecosystems situated far from the place of introducing of fertilizers particularly in urban landscapes. This study aims to demonstrate whether urban landscapes become a source for water pollution.
