An assessment of the ecogeochemical state of small rivers located on the territory of oil and gas industry impact in Mirny district was carried out. It is revealed that the construction of water intakes can lead to changes in the mineral composition of surface water. Road construction has a significant exposure on the ecological condition of rivers. The results indicated increased concentrations of heavy metals such as iron, zinc, copper, aluminium, manganese in the studied rivers.
