Abstract:	This paper presents the changes in water quality of Łyna River in the years 1974-2006 based on benthic macroinvertebrates. To evaluate the environment quality the biological index BMWPPL was used. The analysis of the index values has shown the gradual improvement of the ecological condition in polluted sections of the river indicated by the increase in the macrofauna taxa number that has been observed since the 90’s. It was the effect of the construction of the sewage treatment plant and cutting off the inflow of wastewaters. Water quality of the river reach upstream from the city has persisted on high or good status.
