Volumes of polluted wastewater entering rivers and lakes are reported here in million cubic meters for the period 2017–2022. The list includes various types of economic activity, such as mining or agriculture and forestry. This shows which industrial and agricultural sectors are the primary sources of discharge into surface water bodies nationwide
extraction of mineral resources — manufacturing industries
manufacturing — manufacture of paper and paper products
mining and quarrying
agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and aquaculture
manufacturing — manufacture of basic metals
manufacturing — manufacture of chemicals and chemical products
Rosstat data for 2017–2022. Rows: 36, periods: 6. Breakdown: Total; agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming; mining; mining — coal mining; mining — oil and natural gas extraction and others
Total: the indicator fell from 13 591 to 11 326 in 2017–2022 — by 16.7%. The highest value was 13 591 (2017), the lowest was 11 326 (2022). This is an average annual decline of 3.58%. Up to 2020, the change was −13.2%, after that −4%. Of the 23 largest rows, 4 increased, 19 decreased
Table rows are categorized by industry to allow comparison of each sector's contribution to the total discharge volume. In addition to the total for the Russian Federation, separate rows are provided for mining, agriculture, fishing, and other sectors. This breakdown helps illustrate the pollution structure and assess the share of discharges from specific production processes over the six-year period
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Total (13 591), mining — manufacturing (2 403), manufacturing — production of bu… (855.5), mining (832.2), agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming (763.8). The gap between the highest and lowest is 339 765 times. The top five account for 88.7% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 6 observation periods in the dataset. There are 150 values in the table out of 150 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
The statistics cover the period from 2017 to 2022 and are published annually. Information on wastewater discharges in million cubic meters is useful for ecologists, water resource management specialists, and industrial representatives to analyze environmental impact
How it is calculated
These figures are used to assess the requirements that will be imposed on new production in this territory
