Popis: An assessment of the ecological state of the small Shava River (Kstovskii raion, Nizhnii Novgorod oblast) subjected to oil pollution as a result of a pipeline accident in 2007 is presented. On the basis of physical and chemical characteristics of water quality and the results of a study of hydrobiont communities, the degree of the river pollution has been determined and a conclusion about the rehabilitation of communities as a result of the complex effect of recultivation measures and self-purification processes has been made. Criteria for recultivation activity completion have been defined according to hydrobiological indicators (phytoplankton, zooplankton, and zoobenthos).
