The work is devoted to investigation of water quality using bioindicators benthic organisms. Methods of bioindicators in researches of headwaters of Prut and Chornyy Cheremosh Rivers were proved and tested. Comprehensive study of water quality of mountain streams was conducted for five years. Changes in water quality, trends and the reasons for their occurrence were revealed during the analysis. Based on these results recommendations for improving of geoecological situation in the rivers basin were developed. Key words: water quality, bioindication, geoecology, indices of quality, monitoring, pollution.
