摘要:The research on the quality of the water of a small watercourse
was conducted in the agricultural catchment in north-eastern Poland. The
water quality was analyzed in the hydrological year and in the period of
increased discharge, which in these hydro-meteorological conditions occurs
in the snowmelt period. Nutrients get from agricultural land to surface water
during the snowmelt or precipitation period. Therefore, the chemical
composition of the water of the studied watercourse was subject to intense
seasonal fluctuations. The concentration of nitrates, phosphates and
ammonium ions increased with discharge. The snowmelt lasted for several
days. However, as research has shown, this is a critical period for the quality
of surface water in the agricultural landscape. During this period, the water
of a small watercourse transported about 36% of annual nitrate load, over
45% of phosphate load and as much as 66% of ammonium ions.
