Abstract

The regional dependence of oil hydrocarbons discharge and watershed area is obtained to accept balance evaluations using river runoff and non-uniform observations of oil hydrocarbons concentration in estuarine. Based on their analysis the zoning of the Black Sea is proposed according to the peculiarities of oil hydrocarbons runoff. Transport of oil hydrocarbons is estimated in the modern period (1991 – 2015), namely: the total oil hydrocarbons transport in the sea by regional dependencies WНУ = f(F) is close to the oil hydrocarbons transport calculated by traditional method for 1978 – 2012
