Abstract
Summary
Shatsk lakes are located in the north-west of Ukraine in the interfluve of the Western Bug and Pripyat in the wetlands of the Upper Pripyat lowland. There are 28 lakes in the group. The borders of Poland and Belarus are nearby. The aim of the work was the typification of Shatsk lakes in accordance with the requirements of the Water Framework Directive of the European Union (EU WFD), taking into account the area of the water table, the height of the catchment area, the average depth and distribution of geological rocks. The results showed that very small in area (66%) and shallow in depth (87%) lakes prevail here. Although there are two large lakes in area and medium in depth (Svityaz and Pulemetske).
