Abstract

Variations in the hydrological-hydrochemical state of the aqueous medium in Lena mouth area. The hydrological regime of the river and variations in qualitative water composition in the mouth area are described in detail. Anthropogenic load is estimated in terms of the inflow and the modulus of inflow of pollutants.
