a variety of possible schemes of the formation of water quality and other charac-
teristics of the aqua-geosystem covers a wide spectrum of the physico-chemical
interactions of the elements of the water basin ecosystem. The variety of all these
schemes is an evidence of the complexity of assessing the water quality and the
state of the aqua-geosystem. Therefore, an ef

cient monitoring of the aqua-geo-
system depends on the adequate description of these interactions and the adequate
list of parameters to be measured.
The parameters that directly determine the water quality are acidity, turbidity and
the content of chemicals. In parallel, a set of criteria for the water quality exists
depending on its application. In this regard, Table 9.1 exempli es the sets of factors
