The hydrochemical parameters' characteristics of the river Chernaya and some its tributaries are represented based on the results of the observations in 2006-2010. The changes both of water hardness and the level of its contamination with the mineral nitrogen compounds (nitrates, nitrites and ammonium ions) are shown. The results of the investigations testify to rather noticeable anthropogenic effect (increasing at low norm of water content) upon the water chemical composition. The retrospective analysis shows that in the extreme cases mineralization, hardness, calcium and nutrient content levels in the river waters significantly exceed the hygiene and sanitary standards for drinking water. The river Chernaya waters (before the water supplying point) are constantly contaminated with the nutrients and organic matter brought by the tribute Baidarka and the slope drainage waters. Consistency of quality of the flood and low runoff waters inflowing the river Chernaya to the normative standards is assessed. Though water hardness exceeds the standards only in the extreme cases, the present trend towards growth of the river Chernaya water mineralization and contamination with organic matter and nutrients requires systemic solving of environmental problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
