polluting substance<br />
part of earth surface and soils, from which water drains into water<br />
stream or water reservoir;<br />
section of the river, located upstream or downstream water<br />
hydraulic facility (dam);<br />
water that is disposed of by a drainage system after being filtered<br />
out from particular territory, in order to lower level of ground<br />
water;<br />
water, resulting from domestic and industrial activities (except<br />
mine, quarry and drainage waters), as well as water formed on an<br />
urban territory owing to falling out of atmospheric precipitation;<br />
all waters (surface, ground, sea ones) inherently present in natural<br />
water circulation;<br />
waters located below earth surface level within mountain rocks of<br />
high part of earth crust, in all physical states;<br />
waters in different water bodies located on the earth surface;<br />
natural or artificially created peace of landscape or geological<br />
structure, where the waters concentrate (a river, a lake, a sea, a<br />
reservoir, a channel, an aquifer horizon);<br />
volumes of surface, ground, and sea waters of the appropriate<br />
territory;<br />
a characteristic of river run-off per definite period of time in<br />
comparison to its mean annual value;<br />
relationship between water resources available for use within a<br />
given territory and actual water needs for economic development,<br />
at different levels;<br />
a construction or an appliance for extraction of water from water<br />
body;<br />
a surface water body with slow run-off or without it;<br />
usage of waters (water bodies) for satisfaction of residential and<br />
industrial needs;<br />
an artificial reservoir with volume of more than 1 million cubic<br />
meters, constructed for storage of water and run-off control;<br />
unfavorable changes of water composition and properties of the<br />
water body as a result of entering polluting substances;<br />
a substance that causes worsening of water quality;<br />
