Variability of the water environment component composition and ecosystems’ status along the Kuban River length have been considered on the basis of overview of the long-term regime hydro/chemical information. Importance of such researches was caused by occurring changes of the ecological status and deterioration of the river water environment quality in current conditions of anthropogenic impact. The ecosystems ecological status’ transformation at individual sites along the Kuban River as an effect of anthropogenic impact upon the basin aquatic ecosystems has been investigated. Calculation of chemical substances input volume along the watercourse length has been made and pollutants’ downstream transport has been considered.
