The impact of oil products on river bottom sediments and their wettability is considered on the example of the small Kurcha-Murcha River. The wettability of bottom sediments (pollution up to 18000 mg/kg) was determined by the contact angle of wetting of the solid phase (method of static drop). It is shown that the contact angle of wetting can be used to assess the pollution level of the river bottom sediments.
