Abstract

Currently, serious environmental problems are significantly expressed in resource-oriented regions. Over the past 50 years, the territory of Kuzbass, the largest territorial and industrial complex of the Russian Federation, has undergone such a strong technogenic impact that most of the anthropogenic landscape is a mining landscape with surface watercourses, which belong mainly to the 3rd and 4th classes of water quality. The low sanitary reliability of surface watercourses of the Kemerovo region is due to the discharge of insufficiently treated wastewater from chemical, metallurgical enterprises, open-pit coal mines. The paper presents an assessment of the quality of surface watercourses of Kuzbass, provides an average composition of wastewater from coal enterprises in the region, represented mainly by suspended substances, petroleum products, nitrite-nitrate group ions, heavy metals and sulfates) and gives recommendations on the results of the assessment.

Keywords

Kuzbass, Open-pit coal mining, Quarry wastewater, Monitoring the quality of surface watercourses.
