Abstract
The article presents the results of a monitoring study of the Trubizh River, which flows within the city of Pereiaslav, Boryspil district, Kyiv region. The aim of the research was to assess the water quality at the research sites of the open water body of the Trubizh River, identify environmental and economic problems, and develop proposals for their solution to ensure sustainable water use and regional development.
Macrophyte composition was analysed at the research sites, and the trophic level of the water bodies was determined. A quantitative chemical analysis was conducted to evaluate the qualitative characteristics of the water environment, which is directly related to the concentration of key components and the presence of impurities. The main focus is on allochthonous sources of urban-type anthropogenic eutrophication. The study revealed that all sections of the Trubizh River under investigation are subject to significant acidification, eutrophication, heavy metal contamination, and organic pollution.
To tackle the existing environmental and economic challenges and preserve this historically significant river, urgent riverbed cleaning is proposed. These measures are to be financed by local communities, environmental organisations, and voluntary contributions from individuals and legal entities.
