Impact of economic activity on the environment and natural resources
Environmental load indicators from 2015 to 2024 are distributed across six rows, including water withdrawal from natural sources and discharge of polluted wastewater. Each row reflects a separate aspect of economic activity, showing which specific resources are used in processes and the volume of wastewater entering water bodies. The data covers a ten-year period, and the unit of measurement for water volumes is billions of cubic meters

How to read this table
Comparing indicators by year helps assess the intensity of natural resource use. The table rows vary by type of impact, covering both water withdrawal for industrial needs and the volume of pollutant emissions from stationary sources. Analyzing this data makes it possible to track changes in environmental parameters over the last decade, based on official figures recorded by Rosstat at the end of each calendar year
What is visible in these numbers
“Hazardous waste disposed of and neutralized4), million t” leads the table with 92.3, “from mobile sources” closes it with 5. The gap between them is 18.5-fold.
