Application of water quality indices to the assessment of the effect of geothermal water discharge on river water quality – case study from the Podhale region (Southern Poland)

In the European Union the basic requirements in the subject of the appropriate quality of water, constituting a habitat for fish, was established in Directive 2006/44/EC (EU, 2006) on the quality of fresh waters needing protection or improvement in order to support fish life (currently implicitly re...
