Human activity influences water quality in many ways. Life in cities can impact water bodies that are within city boundaries, and through them it can reach nature. That is why we wanted to study the water quality in River Emajõgi in Tartu, Estonia and how it changes throughout the city at different measuring sites. We found small changes in the water quality and suspect the impact of construction on the riverside area and riverside vegetation to have influenced these parameters. More studies like this are needed to draw more accurate conclusions.
