OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.Different uses of water affect both the quality and the quantity of the water available and the management of water pollution and water resources play an important role at both national and international level. Water remains one of the most poorly managed resources on earth. Division to types of water according to their occurrence reflects only the instantaneous state and location while the real state and its dynamics in nature is not considered. Upon contact with soil, the rain water becomes surface water and after soaking in it may be called ground water. Thus insufficient protection of surface water against contamination with human and animal wastes may cause major water supply problems. Availability of good quality potable water is affected also by global climate changes that cause shortages and overexploitation in some places and flooding in other places with all related consequences including decreased safety of food and potential disease transfer. Anthropogenic pressure on the environment leads to decrease in water quality but there is some limit which cannot be exceeded or else global ecological balance will be disturbed.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThe objective of this study was to monitor the quality of ground water supplied to animal farms and 2 villages and of surface water (rivers) in the same area (Kosice basin, eastern Slovakia) with the aim to assess contamination of water by potential sources in this area. Samples for physico-chemical and microbiological examination were collected at 12 sampling points (6-surface water; 6-ground water) from May 2014 up to March 2015, covering all four seasons. The examination and evaluation of individual parameters was carried out according to relevant Slovak legislation compatible with EU Drinking water directive. The physico-chemical evaluation focused on parameters that indicate pollution of water resulting from human activities and farming. Microbiological examination included determination of counts of bacteria cultivated at 22 degrees C and 37 degrees C (BC22 and BC37), total coliforms, E. coli and fecal streptococci. Ground water intended for mass consumption (farms, villages) is abstracted from wells, collected in storage reservoirs and disinfected before brought to consumers. Some families in the villages use their own wells. Water for individual consumption (individual households) originates directly from individual wells. Examination of potable water used on agricultural farms showed some possibility of contamination of sources by runoff and inappropriate manipulation with excrements. Surface water in in the area close to both farms was polluted with organic substances (CODMn), however they did not exceed the limit set for surface water.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceChemical examination of the quality of ground water intended for mass consumption indicated that the required level of some parameters was exceeded (chlorides, phosphates nitrates). Bacteriological safety of this water is ensured by regular monitoring and disinfection. The contamination of individual sources of drinking water was not very high and could be improved by their cleaning and disinfection. However, removal of sources of potential contamination would appear as the best choice. Availability of water of good quality is essential for preservation of health of humans and animals. This can be ensured by regular monitoring and protection of water sources against point and diffuse pollution particularly that related to spreading of diseases. Importance of water protection zones was confirmed also by our results as surface water exposed to the lowest potential contamination showed best microbial quality. Ground water intended for mass is regularly controlled and disinfected and thus presents low risk to consumers. Individual water wells require higher attention as their safety is less frequently checked and little controlled.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe publication highlights the possible pathways of groundwater contamination with negative impact on human and animal health.
