The ecological monitoring of watercourses includes monitoring the Danube with high-resolution complex chemical and biological analyses. We perform these analyses on water samples, focusing on monitoring the concentrations of new industrial pollutants and specific groups of organisms. We also monitor small intermittent watercourses, in which we examine the effects of water storage and dehydration on the environmental parameters of the waters and benthic communities. Finally, we monitor beavers in terms of their distribution and landscape-engineering activities.
