Abstract

The article provides the characteristic of variability of the chemical composition and level of river water pollution according to long-term observations of water quality of the rivers Kacha, Belbek and Chernaya. Module of substances runoff and relative anthropogenic impact of river run-off on estuarine seashore in Sevastopol region are calculated.

Keywords
