Methodological Basis for Assessing the Level of Environmental Safety of Water Ecosystems in the Republic of Crimea

Abstract

A methodological approach to assessing the level of environmental safety of the water ecosystems of the Republic of Crimea is presented. Using the proposed methodology to assess the sustainability of the functioning of water ecosystems in the future will allow to rank river natural and technical systems on the level of environmental safety of their functioning, highlight the most vulnerable components of the water ecosystem and the main causes of increasing the likelihood of damage to both the water facility itself and its water users.
