Subject: legislation for water quality



Dear Richard,

My name is Sandra, I am working at the EU Joint Research Centre as coordinator of the Lake Intercalibration (setting and harmonizing lake quality criteria across the European Union)
Please find enclosed a recent article on our work.

I have read your article “Critical analysis o water quality monitoring in the Russian Fedearion and former Soviet Union” and found it very useful and interesting.

I would like to ask your advice: I am looking for water quality criteria in different countries.
I did some research on web pages of Russian federation and I found a lot of pieces of legislation, but mostly for chemical pollution of surface waters.
I also found some more standards of classification as GOST 17.1.2.04-77 (classification by saprobity)– I am not sure think are this document still in force

I would be extremely happy if you could give me some hints (or provide with e-mail addresses of Russian experts):
1) Legislation about water quality – criteria, guidelines, standards in Russia ?
2) Legislation about lakes ecological state – are there some criteria, guidelines, standards also ?

Best wishes
Sandra
