“…This Figures 2-3 and Table 3. Regarding the Caucasus rivers studied by other authors, there is an increased molybdenum content reported for the Terskol and Garabashi Rivers (Qdais et al, 2018). Research has shown that in the waters of the Pshysh River, Bolshaya Laba River, Psekups River, and Kuban River there is a slight increase in the content of cadmium and other heavy metals, which can be a consequence of anthropogenic impact.…”

“…In the mentioned studies, a higher content of phenols was revealed, while in this research, the content of phenols and other organic substances was not considered as an independent indicator but included in BOD5 and COD. Some authors attribute the increased concentrations of heavy metals and chlorine in the plain part of the river basin to the outcome of agricultural activities and the influence of industrial enterprises (Qdais et al, 2018). High surfactant concentrations indicate that the main sources of pollution in the Kuban River basin are attributed to municipal wastewater.…”

Considering features of hydrological conditions for hydro-chemical system, this paper analyses the performance of the hydro-ecological status of the Kuban river basin.. The results of the study on water chemical composition depending on the distance from the source are presented. By comparing the results with the reference values of water quality, increased aluminium, zinc, and copper content was established. Respective dendrograms of hydro-ecological studies obtained according to performed analysis for the Kuban River and its tributaries are presented. The relevance of the findings received is p<0.0005 and the correlation coefficient corresponds to 0.935...1. The results of multivariate cluster analysis showed that the Kuban basin has an increased content of particular heavy metals such as aluminium, copper, and zinc.
