Abstract Based on a microfloristic analysis of periphyton, a selected ecological method of evaluating water quality, independent of saprobic systems is applied to a chosen section of running water in the springs of Levadia, Greece. The graphic representation of the results and an estimation of the degree of pollution is given. A simple method for the quantitative evaluation of the biocoenose of epilithic algae is additionally developed.
