The Impact of Bridges on the Process of Water Turbidity on the Example of Large Lowland Rivers

The transformations of river channels as a result of human activity may reflect the level of anthropogenic pressure. Recorded in macroscale, they are indicators of transformations for the larger part of the river basin, while in the microscale they usually refer to its fragment. The human activity t...
