Abstract

The authors of the article analyze the changes in the water quality of the Moskva River over the last 25 years, using the database of its hydrochemical monitoring for 1971–1981 and 1995–2018. To evaluate the city load on the Moskva River, the rate of self-purification of the river during 1999–2018 and the specific flow intensity of the water intake river in the period from the middle of the XVIII century to our time have been calculated. The authors have shown that the state of the river ecosystem is close to critical; the processes of its self-purification have practically stopped since 2006.
