Carried out abiotic typification of rivers, which is based on the requirements of the EU WFD and a typological system adapted in Poland, allowed to identify: for the Western Bug basin within Ukraine 5 abiotic river types, within Poland – 7; for the San basin within Ukraine – 4 types of rivers, within Poland – 10.

To perform the typification of lakes in the Western Bug basin on the territory of Ukraine according to the requirements of the EU WFD, it is necessary to conduct research on a set of indicators (geological catchment conditions, ratio of catchment area to lake volume, vertical stratification of lake waters).
