Waste into the Dnieper river dropping about 300 industrial enterprises, which are not always legally increase limits on their discharge. All this leads to an irreversible outcome, namely the emergence in the water many nitrogen compounds, phosphorus, which help uncontrolled algae bloom.

• many of the sewage falls into the Dnieper directly from the adjacent roads and not clean the city sewers, precipitation in the form of melt water from snow and rain with particles of petroleum products;
• Important sources of pollution are: destruction of spawning fish, mass housing and privatization of banks, artificial embankments modifying the channel, artificially created reservoir and felling of old trees leading to the destruction of riverbanks. All this, in case of unpredictable floods and excessive rainfall that could lead to a real disaster.
