Four rivers: the Lydynia, the Pelta, the Sona, the Wkra, 4 old beds of the Wkra river and 9 anthropogenic reservoirs (clay-pits) were researched. The zoocenology analysis of snail com-munities was carried out using dominancy, constancy, commonness indices and biodiversity indices: Simpson Diversity Index (D), Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H'), Evennes Index (J’). 27 gastropod species are presented in the rivers of the Ciechanowska Upland. The first permanent population of Ferrissia wautieri (Mirolli) in Poland has been recorded from the clay-pit. Gastropods in running waters can be biological indicators of oxygen level of water. If the level of oxygen increases, the number of species will increase. Viviparus viviparus (L.) and Radix peregra (O.F. Mull) can be indicators of anthropopressure. creators_name: Lewіn, Іga ispublished: pub subjects: QL full_text_status: public date: 2002 date_type: published publication: ВІСНИК Житомирського державного університету імені Івана Франка number: 10 pagerange: 113-115 refereed: TRUE citation: Lewіn, Іga (2002) Gastropod communities of the reservoirs and the rivers of the Ciechanowska Upland = Сообщества Gastropodа в водохранилишах и реках Цехановского Нагорья.
