    Po przyst膮pieniu do Unii Europejskiej Polska zobowi膮zana jest do wdro偶enia Ramowej Dyrektywy Wodnej (2000/60/WE), kt贸rej g艂贸wnym celem jest osi膮gni臋cie do roku 2015 dobrego stanu ekologicznego i chemicznego w贸d powierzchniowych. Niestety, jak wykazuj膮 wyniki monitoringu podstawowego i regionalnego wykonanego w latach 1999-2006 przez WIO艢 w Poznaniu spo艣r贸d zbadanych 84 jezior (o powierzchni powy偶ej 100 ha lub mniejszych, wa偶nych dla regionu ze wzgl臋du na walory gospodarcze, przyrodnicze i rekreacyjne), jedynie trzy charakteryzowa艂y si臋 bardzo dobrym stanem w贸d zaliczanym do I klasy czysto艣ci. Wody klasy II oznaczono w 28 jeziorach o 艂膮cznej powierzchni 4783,5 ha, tj. 27,7% powierzchni przebadanej w okresie o艣miu lat, natomiast wody III klasy czysto艣ci wyznaczono dla 55 zbiornik贸w o 艂膮cznej powierzchni 7216,4 ha, tj. 41,9% powierzchni zbadanych jezior. W 38 zbadanych jeziorach jako艣膰 w贸d nie odpowiada艂a 偶adnej z klas czysto艣ci, dlatego zosta艂y one uznane za pozaklasowe, silnie zanieczyszczone (Stan 艣rodowiska w Wielkopolsce, WIO艢 2007). Wi臋kszo艣膰 zbiornik贸w w tym okresie w ramach monitoringu badana by艂a tylko raz, dlatego badania te nie s膮 wystarczaj膮ce do analizowania zmian jako艣ci wody w uj臋ciu 艣redniookresowym. Wymaga to bardziej szczeg贸艂owych obserwacji. Celem bada艅 przedstawionych w niniejszej pracy by艂a ocena zmian jako艣ci wody w wybranych jeziorach Pojezierza Pozna艅skiego w latach 2004-2009.The results described in this paper contain a fragment of longterm studies on water quality changes conducted since 1999 in selected lakes on the area of Pozna艅 Lakeland. The research realized in 2004梅2009 covered three lakes: Niepruszewskie Lake, Pami膮tkowskie Lake and Strykowskie Lake. These lakes are exposed to significant pollution because of agricultural character of the catchment areas and large number of residential and recreational buildings which are not connected to the sewage system. Water quality assessment was performed on the basis of the Decree of the Minister of Environment in 2004 (Journal of Laws No. 32, item. 284), which had been in force in water monitoring until 2008. Average annual values of the studied physical and chemical parameters of water quality were found among the "very good" and "good" classes in most cases. Poor and bad water quality in lakes was mainly determined by the adverse oxygen conditions and high values of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). It indicated a strong eutrophication level. The study showed a decrease in phosphates, nitrates and ammonia concentrations in the waters, however an increased trend was found in reference to the concentrations of sulphates and calcium. Other components showed an irregular variation in the individual years

    SEASONAL VARIABILITY OF SELECTED NUTRIENTS IN THE WATERS OF LAKES NIEPRUSZEWSKIE, PAMIATKOWSKIE AND STRYKOWSKIE

    The paper presents the evaluation of seasonal and long-term changes in selected nutrients of three lakes of the Pozna艅 Lakeland. The lakes were selected due to the high risk of pollution from agricultural and residential areas. Water samples were taken in 6 control points in the spring, summer and autumn, from 2004 to 2014. Trophic status of the lakes was evaluated based on the concentration of nutrients (nitrates, nitrites, ammonium, nitrogen and phosphorus) and indicators of eutrophication. Studies have shown that the concentration of nutrients varied greatly both in individual years and seasons of the analyzed decades, especially in Lakes Niepruszewskie and Pami膮tkowskie. The main problem is the high concentration of nitrates. In general, it showed an upward trend until 2013, especially in the spring. This may indicate that actions restricting runoff pollution from agricultural sources have not been fully effective. On the other hand, a marked downward trend in the concentrations of NH4 over the years from 2004 to 2014, especially after 2007, indicates a gradual improvement of wastewater management. Moreover, seasonal variation in NH4 concentrations differed from those of NO3 and NO2. The highest values were reported in the autumn season, the lowest in the summer. Concentrations of nutrients and eutrophication indexes reached high values in all analysed lakes, indicating a eutrophic or hypertrophic state of the lakes. The high value of the N:P ratio indicates that the lakes had a huge surplus of nitrogen, and phosphorus is a productivity limiting factor
