THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT DEGREE ON THE CATCHMENT AREA OF THE SELENGA RIVER TRANSBOUNDARY BASIN (RUSSIAN PART)
Abstract
The paper discusses a comprehensive assessment of the ecological state of the basin of the transboundary Selenga River. This assessment was created on the basis of an analysis of the factors of direct and indirect effects on water bodies. The indicators used were grouped according to the types of anthropogenic influences - demographic, industrial and agricultural. The aggregate anthropogenic load was defined as the arithmetic average value of the points of demographic, industrial and agricultural loads. The results of the assessment of the impact on water bodies of economic activity testify to the continued pollution of the Baikal watershed and the directly transboundary Selenga River. Sources of pollution are insufficiently treated sewage and emissions from industrial enterprises and housing and communal services.
