Volume of polluted wastewater discharge by sea and river basins
Over twenty-four years, volumes of polluted wastewater discharge into water bodies changed from 20.3 to 9.3 billion cubic meters, reflecting the overall environmental situation. The table rows provide data for the country as a whole as well as for individual basins, including the Baltic Sea basin and the Neva River basin, allowing for a detailed view of specific waterways. All indicators are presented in billion cubic meters and cover annual values for the entire period from 2000 to 2024 inclusive

How to read this table
Row-by-row comparison shows the contribution of specific water systems to the total volume of pollution, helping to assess the scale of anthropogenic impact on these territories relative to national values. The Baltic Sea basin and the Neva River basin are highlighted separately to demonstrate the intensity of discharge across different geographic zones. The data covers the period from 2000 to 2024, making it possible to track changes in the environmental load on the country's largest water bodies over a long-term interval
