THE GANJACHAY RIVER’S STATUS ASSESSMENT
Abstract
River Ganjachay belongs to Gazakh-Ganja economic and geographic region of Azerbaijan and is an important source of water in the region. Expenditure of water for the needs of irrigation systems and agricultural enterprises, and anthropogenic modification of the stream canal significantly affects the ecological condition of the river. On the basis of the newly developed methodology for evaluation of the quality and quantity of water, the author assesses its hydroecological status.
