title: The ecological database VODE as the base for monitoring and the study of the water quality parameters correlation.
abstract: The ecological approach to the disease facilitates the understanding of the reasons for the multiplicity of causal factors and the finding of those on which the preventive measures will be easily and successfully directed. That is the reason why integration of space data for getting insight into the existing condition from ecological point of view is necessary. The ecological need to sum up the work of the water research and to estimate the future water quality trends by observing the relevant parameters as influential ecological factors for the health of the population resulted in relation data base VODE. Besides it integrates the data group of waters data and from the ecological standpoint is suitable for the several years study of trends of existing water supply system condition with special survey of the results of the water quality analyses in view of the recognition of the actual pollutions that are significant for the health problems of population, group and individuals. One gets informations by putting questions and than plans necessary interventions, what is the new significant contribution in the approach to the analytical and monitoring techniques, i.e., application of informatical techniques in water pollution control.
