Analysis of the Influence of Anthropogenic Factors of the Urbanized Territory of Poltava Region (Ukraine) on the State of River Water
Summary
This study analyzed anthropogenic factors affecting river water quality in the Poltava region of Ukraine, examining how urban areas influence mineralization and other water parameters. The research provides insight into how human settlement patterns degrade freshwater quality in this region.
The analysis of anthropogenic factors influencing the state of natural water is carried out in the work. The need for a detailed study of the impact of urban areas on river water quality is noted. The study of the state of one of the main rivers of Poltava region in the area of about 100 km during the winter-spring period on the parameter of mineralization. The influence of individual settlements on the water status of the Vorskla River is considered. There was a gradual increase in river water pollution in the studied area and an increase in mineralization from 660 to 820 mg/l (February) and from 500 to 580 mg /l (April) (Sr = 2%). It was found that the greatest anthropogenic impact on the state of the Vorskla River is in the area of Poltava - Novi Sanzhary. The influence of surface runoff on changes in surface and groundwater quality of Poltava region is shown.

Researchers evaluated land-use changes and water quality in the Ngerengere River catchment in Tanzania, finding that urbanization has significantly altered the river's buffer zones. The study documented elevated levels of heavy metals and nutrients in both water and sediment, with built-up areas and bare land now dominating the riverbank landscape.
