Abstract
For water reservoirs of the system of Belovo settling tank (Kemerovo Region, Russia) as example, the species composition, structure and abundance of phyto- and zooplankton of the technogenic water reservoir formed by acidic ore drainage water are characterized. According to the chemical composition, the water of these water bodies may be related to a special technogenic type never occurring under natural conditions. The species diversity and composition of the plankton depict the features of the chemical composition of water and allow us to consider these water objects as extremal localities.
