Oil contamination of the bottom sediments of the Dnieper river

Abstract

The present state of the ecosystem of the Kaniv reservoir is determined by the powerful economic complex of Kyiv, adjacent to the city's infrastructure and recreational zone. In addition to the natural processes associated with the transformation and destruction of the shores, unsystematic and environmentally unsustainable dredging works, mining of building materials, but especially the centres of man-made pollution and water management in the basin play an essential role.
