WABIOLI - Water Biodiversity Life

In the WABIOLI project, interested parties support scientists/university researchers studying the functioning of water reservoirs and rivers, identifying the diversity of coastal vegetation (i.e., macrophytes), and determining water quality parameters.

Macrophytes are aquatic plants that grow above water and are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. They can be emerging plants, growing on the banks of reservoirs and rivers, and can be submerged or floating on the water surface. Macrophytes are of enormous ecological importance in the environment. They provide shelter and feeding space for animals, produce oxygen, and help maintain good water quality.

Macrophytes help us assess the degree of degradation in surface waters. By identifying species, we can assess the ecological status of reservoirs and rivers.
