The Selenga River water quality on the border with Mongolia at the beginning of the 21st century

Based on the comprehensive hydrochemical and hydrobiological studies of the Selenga River near the Naushki settlement carried out in 2010, the quality of water flowing from the territory of Mongolia is assessed. The comparison with the results of the previous years indicates that the water quality deteriorated due to the intensification of economic activity in the river basin and unfavorable climatic factors.
