In rivers with diffuse pollution intensification of self-purification is the main method of water quality control. The Moscow River is subjected to an extreme anthropogenic load. Hydro/chemical and hydro/biological monitoring at the reach from the entering the city to the estuary has revealed the factors that influence self-purification. The paper demonstrates regulation of the self-purification processes through adjustment of the river ecosystem in the zone of biologically treated waters discharge.
