This article deals with interactions of climatic and
hydrochemical changes. The climate changes are reported to
have been occurred since 1989. But the warmest years were
1989, 1990, 1999, 2000, when the meaning of temperature
added 1,5ºС to its normal value. The hydrochemical situation
in the Republic of Belarus also underwent changes during this
period of observations. Especially it concerned biogenic matter
and biochemical oxygen demand. For instance, the average
annual concentrations of phosphorus compound in the waters
of the Zapadnaya Dvina increased almost at all points of
observation in 1990.
The article will include graphic material, tabular material with
average annual concentrations of biogenic matter and analysis
of climate change and water pollution interactions.
