Polluted and insufficiently treated wastewater in total discharge volume
In 2019, 622.9 million cubic meters of wastewater were discharged into surface water bodies, reaching 637.2 million by 2023. These figures reflect the annual volume of effluents entering the country's water bodies. Rows are categorized by total discharge, untreated wastewater, and insufficiently treated wastewater. This structure allows for tracking the changing contribution of each category to the overall environmental impact on water resources over the five-year period

How to read this table
Selecting a specific row shows the difference between the total discharge volume and its components, which require varying levels of treatment. Comparing these data points demonstrates the share of untreated or insufficiently treated wastewater within the total discharge. The division into three key categories helps assess changes in the quality of wastewater discharge into surface water bodies over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023 inclusive
What is visible in these numbers
“sewage discharged into surface water bodies” leads the table with 637, “sewage discharged into surface water bodies — share of polluted (untreated and insufficiently treated) sewage in total sewage discharged into surface water bodies, percent” closes it with 60.3. The gap between them is 10.6-fold.
