Abstract.New data on effects of chemicals (surfactants) on water filtration by aquatic invertebrates are
reported. The basics of the new theory of the polyfunctional role of biota in self-purification of
water in aquatic ecosystems (lakes, rivers, man-made reservoirs) are formulated. The theory
covers the following: sources of energy for the mechanisms of self-purification; the main
functional blocks of the mechanism of water self-purification; the system of the main processes
that are involved; analysis of the degree of participation of the main groups of aquatic organisms;
degree of reliability and the main mechanisms providing the reliability of water self-purification;
biotic regulation of the processes; the attitude of the mechanism of self-purification towards the
external influences/impacts; applications and conclusions relevant to the practice of sustainable
use of water resources, including some new approaches in preventing eutrophication and
chemical pollution.
