“…Our modeling approaches for nutrients, triclosan, microplastics and Cryptosporidium are based on those previously evaluated models. However, our model misses other pollution sources (Strokal and Kovpak 2021 ) such as agriculture (Wen et al 2017 ; Mogollón et al 2021 ) and aquiculture (Wang et al 2019 ). Diffuse sources such as runoff from agricultural fields can play an important role in the total pollution level of nutrients in rivers (Mogollón et al 2021 ).…”

The population in the Black Sea region is expected to decline in the future. However, a better understanding of how river pollution is affected by declining trends in population and increasing trends in economic developments and urbanization is needed. This study aims to quantify future trends in point-source emissions of nutrients, microplastics, Cryptosporidium, and triclosan to 107 rivers draining into the Black Sea. We apply a multi-pollutant model for 2010, 2050, and 2100. In the future, over half of the rivers will be more polluted than in 2010. The population in 74 sub-basins may drop by over 25% in our economic scenario with poor wastewater treatment. Over two-thirds of the people will live in cities and the economy may grow 9-fold in the region. Advanced wastewater treatment could minimize trade-offs between economy and pollution: our Sustainability scenario projects a 68–98% decline in point-source pollution by 2100. Making this future reality will require coordinated international efforts.

Pollution of water bodies with heavy metals can lead to the death of fish and other aquatic organisms, a decrease in biodiversity and a threat to ecosystems, emphasising the importance of preserving the natural environment; pollution of water bodies can have serious economic consequences, in particular, a decrease in profits from fishing, tourism, and other activities related to water use, which requires the development of water management strategies. The purpose of the study was to determine the general trends in the content of heavy metals in the surface waters of the Teteriv River and fattening pond No. 1 of the LLC “SHF INTERRYBHOSP”. Water samples were taken at the stream of the Teteriv River (Vidsichne Reservoir) and in the fattening pond No. 1 at a depth of 0.2-0.5 m from the surface for further laboratory analysis of the content of heavy metal ions (HM). The atomic absorption method of analysis was used to study water. Laboratory studies of surface waters in the Teteriv River and pond were performed according to the following indicators: hydrogen index (pH), lead, cadmium, manganese, zinc, and iron content. The results of the study of the content of heavy metals in the Teteriv River are presented, which showed that the content of such heavy metals as: Pb, Cd, Mn, Zn and Fe, in river water, with the exception of iron, exceed the limits of maximum admissible values of water quality indicators for fishery water bodies. Background HM indicators from fattening pond No. 1 did not show an excess of the MAC (maximum admissible concentration). High concentrations of lead, cadmium, manganese, and iron are explained by powerful anthropogenic pollution, the source of which is agricultural and industrial complexes of Zhytomyr Oblast. The results can be used to establish effective monitoring of water quality in reservoirs and develop strategies to reduce pollution in aquatic ecosystems
