It is difficult to find a balance when we analyze them. A new theory was created that unified and balanced many physical, chemical and biological factors that work together toward improving water quality.

A challenge in ecology is the multitude of factors that influence all ecological processes. It is difficult to find a balance when we analyze them. An answer was given to the problem of how to balance many physical, chemical and biological factors toward improving water quality.

Fundamental solutions suggested: To implement environmental law, it is necessary to have adequate, clear and precise interpretation (definitions) of the basic ecological terms, including the definition of ecosystem. The standard definition is vague. A new definition was published. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/608_Does_implementation_of_environmental_law_depend_on_new_improvement_of_ecological_terms_Fundamental_solutions_suggested New plant species as a POTENT TOOL TO CLEAN WATER AND TO REMOVE HEAVY METALS: This is the first time the phytoremediation potential of a new wide-spread species of plants was discovered. The plant removed the toxic metals cadmium, lead, copper, zinc (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) from water with great efficiency. As a result, water quality improved dramatically with prospect of new technology.

Foam from shampoo was found to be of much more environmental hazard than previously thought. http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/466_The_Threat_of_Shampoo_to_the_Biosphere A New Concept For Ecosystems: Major functions of ecosystem are traditionally being described in a dogmatic, stagnant, and antiquated way. A paper was published with a NEW CONCEPTUAL ADDITION to key functions of aquatic ecosystem: the latter is seen as a kind of a grand autonomous bioreactor governed by a diverse genetic pool. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/410_A_New_Concept_For_Ecosystems Stopping Pollution: Eutrophication and Algal Blooms: A new approach to PREVENT POLLUTION, EUTROPHICATION, AND ALGAL BLOOMS was identified and analyzed in this paper . The approach is based on efficient use of the natural mechanisms of self-regulation of ecosystem. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/389_Stopping_Pollution_Eutrophication_and_Algal_Blooms Underwater Secrets of Global Change: What is the global change? Usually it is seen as something that is relevant to the atmosphere and weather. It is true that air is involved, but not only the air alone; what happens in water is less visible. This paper unveils this HIDDEN SIDE OF ECOSYSTEMS, and discusses both hopes and hazards.

Important new facts on the NEW TYPE OF HAZARD OF MAN-MADE DAMAGE TO THE BENEFICIAL FUNCTION of rotifers, which are plankton filter-feeders, were discovered.

See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/358_Three_New_Key_Hazards_to_the_Functioning_of_the_Biosphere Biodiversity and stability of ecosystems: The role of biodiversity in benefiting stability of ecosystems is a matter of a hot dispute. The matter of STABILITY OF ECOSYSTEMS is very important as it is a part of stability of the biosphere at the time of hazards of global change. Not much is known on whether biodiversity is instrumental for increasing stability of AQUATIC ecosystems. A research project was done that is filling the gap in knowledge on this controversial issue. A paper was published that provides a fresh analysis and new vision of how biodiversity helps towards better stability of aquatic habitats, i.e. water quality. To my mind, the paper mentioned below is a contribution to better understanding of the positive role of biodiversity in increasing stability of aquatic habitats and by doing so, to increasing the stability of aquatic ecosystem as a whole. I will be happy to know the opinion of other members of the network. Biodiversity protection and quality of water: the role of feedbacks in ecosystems.- Doklady Biological Sciences.

The new methodology proposed is inhibitory analysis. The author applied this approach to analyze trophic chains: the top–down control of plankton by benthic filter-feeders.

This is an incorrect view. The paper discovers hazards from summation of mild effects on adjacent trophic levels. Example of effects of pollutants on filter-feeders, algae and water quality is given.

Ostroumov S.A. Biotic self-purification of aquatic ecosystems: From the theory to ecotechnologies. – Ecologica 2007, vol. 15, No. 50, p. 15-21. (Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia) Basic elements of a new theory for the biological mechanism for water self-purification are presented. Hydrobionts (aquatic organisms) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Not only microorganisms (bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi), but also algae, plants, invertebrates, and many other groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. Results of the author's experiments that study the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms (freshwater and marine bivalves) are given. The theory is an innovative basis for developing ecological technologies to clean water and to upgrade its quality by using organisms and ecosystems. This paper generalizes and systematizes the basics of the author’s theory of the multifunctional role that the biota plays in the self-purification and ecological remediation of aquatic ecosystems using the results of previous analyses and the theory of the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. It is expected that on the basis of this theory some efficient ecotechnologies will emerge to remediate and restore polluted aquatic systems. The paper is based on the presentations that the author made at a scientific seminar in the V.I. Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, at the conferences 'Aquatic Ecosystems and Organisms-6' (the 6th international conference that was run in Moscow in 2004) and 'Aquatic Ecosystems and Organisms-7' (the 7th international conference, Moscow, 2005), XXIX Congress of International Association of Theoretical and Applied Limnology, and other conferences.

РЕФЕРАТ: Представлена новая теория биомеханизмов самоочищения воды, изложенная в книге автора «Гидробионты в самоочищении вод и биогенной миграции элементов» (М.: МАКС Пресс, 2008, 200 с.). Гидробионты активно участвуют в процессах, ведущих к очищению воды. В них участвуют почти все группы живых организмов, что анализируется в статье с различных сторон. При разработке теории были использованы результаты опытов автора, изучавшего воздействие поллютантов на живые организмы. Изложенная теория служит инновационной основой для создания новых экотехнологий очищения воды и повышения ее качества с использованием водных организмов. Представлены и обоснованы новые основные концепции, в том числе понятия и термины: biomachinery, экзометаболизм, экологические хеморегуляторы, экологические хемомедиаторы, макросимбиотические системы и другие. Новые результаты автора по выявлению свойства синтетических поверхностно-активных веществ (ПАВ) подавлять фильтрацию воды двустворчатыми моллюсками были признаны научным открытием и отмечены Дипломом за научное открытие № 274. Теория вносит вклад в научные основы укрепления экологической безопасности водных экосистем (водоемов и водотоков), которые служат источниками водоснабжения. Ostroumov S.A. Elements of the theory of biocontrol of water quality: a factor in the ecological safety of the sources of water. // Chemical and Biological Safety (=Himicheskaja i biologicheskaja bezopasnost' , Moscow). 2008. No. 5-6. p.36-39. ABSTRACT: A new theory for the biomechanisms for water self-purification is presented in the author’s book ‘Aquatic Organisms in Water Self-Purification and Biogenic Migration of Elements’ (2008, 200 p.). Hydrobionts (aquatic organisms) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Almost all main groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. In the theory, the results of the author's experiments on the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms were used. The theory is an innovative basis for new ecological technologies to clean water and to upgrade its quality by using aquatic organisms. New fundamental concepts were introduced and discussed, including the concepts and terms: biomachinery, exometabolism, ecological chemoregulators, ecological chemomediators, macrosymbiotic system and others. The new authors’s results on the surfactant-induced inhibition of water filtration by bivalves were recognized as a scientific discovery. As a result, the author was awarded Diploma for Scientific Discovery No. 274. The theory is a contribution to the scientific basis for environmental safety of the aquatic ecosystems (aquatic bodies and streams) that serve as sources of water supply.
