Tasks related to project activities 1. Implementation of water quality monitoring for better knowledge of the water bodies Focus on the smaller water courses Gap analyses in order to select water bodies and paremeters Chemical and physico-chemical elements + BQS 2. Supporting wastewater strategy development Detection of point sources (urban and industrial WWTPs) Evaluation of water quality impacts Data collection in order to supply water quality model Subcontracting (NEKI - KSZI BME) Implementing period: 20.09.2013 31.10.2013.

Monitoring for model supply approach: Steady state conditions Typical low flow (low dilution for point sources, reduced diffuse load) Simultaneous measurements of river discharge, upstream and downstream water quality and emission from point sources Two type of investigations: Measuring longitudinal profiles (Ipoly and its first order tributaries) 48 hours measurement to examine changes over time (one selected significant point source and receiving water body)
Measuring longitudinal profiles: 08-16. October, 2013 Ipoly (Balassagyarmat) Q measured = 1.9 m 3 /s Sampling sites: Ipoly/Ipel: 11 cross sections 26 sites of 6 tributaries 17 samples from WWTP effluents (15 urban + 2 industrial) Q10% (1961-2003) = 3.76 m 3 /s Qmin (1961-2003) = 0.048 m 3 /s
Salinity Average {Cloride, conductivity} Less than good Good status Excelent status WWTP effluent Water quality classification based on physico-chemical elements in aggreement with 10/2010 VM Ministerial Decree Nutrients Average {NO3-N, TN, PO4-P, TP} Less than good Good status Excelent status WWTP effluent

Summary and conclusions Monitoring program was executed successfully, Significant improvement of knowledge (longitudinal profile, diurnal variations, impact of wastewater emission on water quality and its contribution to river load), But uncertainties remained (sampling problems, deviation from steady state conditions, analitical error). Thank you for your attention!
