Evaluation of water quality in the Prut River, Sculeni-Iasi Area by determining some physical-chemical indicators

Abstract

In 2018, a series of researches were carried out regarding the main water quality indicators in the Prut river, Iasi county, Sculeni area. Following the taking and carrying out of physico-chemical analyzes on the collected samples, it was found that most of the water indicators in the Prut river do not exceed the maximum allowable concentration, according to the norms written in the specialized literature. Small exceedances were registered for the following indicators: chlorides, CCO-Cr, Ca2+, Mg2+, which indicates that the water in the Prut river has a relatively good quality, most indicators fall within the limits imposed for surface water of category II.
