Ecological hydrology (ecohydrology) as a part of the aquatic ecology

The understanding of ecohydrology in Ukraine, which was formed due to a large number of detailed hydrological investigations in natural and artificial water bodies, is presented. The approach presented here focuses on one of the hydrology side of this scientific discipline that is to study hydrological processes, which are responsible for the functioning of aquatic ecosystems, vital activity of hydrobionts, bioproductivity of the aquatic environment and its quality. The main goal of ecohydrology is to develop management methods of structural and functional parameters of aquatic ecosystems. In this approach, ecohydrology is a part of aquatic ecology (hydroecology).
