Chemical and biological water quality assessment was performed, and four biotic indices were tested: Belgian BBi, French IBGN, British BMWP/OQR, and biotic index BMWP-PL developed for Polish rivers. Correlations between the values of the latter and chemical water parameters show that BMWP-PL is a useful tool for the assessment ofwater quality of lowland rivers in Poland (similar to the Liwiec).}, type={Article}, title={The Use of BMWP-PL Index for Assessment of Water Quality in the Lowland Liwiec River and Its Longest Tributaries (Central-Eastern Poland)}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123248/PDF/6_AE_VOL_33_3_2007_Korycinska_The_Use.pdf}, keywords={macroinvertcbrates, biotic indices, lowland rivers, water quality assessment}, }
