Description: This article provides an integrated ecological assessment of water quality across five sites of the Zaporizhzhia (Dnipro) reservoir using the national methodology for environmental evaluation of surface water. The study calculates block indices for salt composition, trophic-saprobological, and toxicological factors, identifying key areas of concern such as elevated mineralization and eutrophication in Samara Bay. Results indicate a general classification of the reservoir’s water as “good” but highlight seasonal and site-specific variations, especially during summer periods.
