Water is one of the most important natural resources and its use relates to all human activities and natural processes. However, water as a resource is often supplied freely without any consideration for its self-purification capacity. Freshwater quality improvement and protection against eutrophication are among the main priorities in Latvia’s environmental policy. To ensure its rational use and long-term protection, water has been defined as a important national asset[1].
