ABSTRACT

The methodology of the integral environmental assessment of the state of aquatic ecosystems in accordance with the Directive 2000/60/EC on water policy is reviewed. Some scientific measures for "ecologization" of water policy in Ukraine had been justified. In particular, a system of environmental classification schemes of the surface water quality; the method of its objective assessment; the method of its mapping; the method of the establishment and use of ecological standards of the surface water quality, and the method of quantitative assessment of the environmental damage and environmental risk with regard to surface water quality have been developed by Ukrainian hydroecologists.
