		Chemical river water quality is a function of the chemical load applied to the river, water temperature, and the volume of flow.
		River water temperature will increase by a slightly lesser amount than air temperature (Pilgrim et al., 1998), with the smallest increases in catchments with large contributions from groundwater.
		Biological and chemical processes in river water are dependent on water temperature: Higher temperatures alone would lead to increases in concentrations of some chemical species but decreases in others.

		Longitudinal profile of the Lower Hron river channel is influenced particularly by shortening of the river course (cat of the meanders) that caused increasing of the river bed slope followed by higher sediment transport capacity of the channel.
		Morphological development of the river bed was evaluated on the background of actualised geometry of cross sections (measurement of 177 cross sections in 2001) using the same data from 1957 and 1982.
		In this locality the river bed is significantly influenced by propagation of downstream erosion due to sediment deficit (trapping effect of the reservoir).
