Abstract

The article considers the possibility of increasing the basin management efficiency with the use of tools for assessing the public health risks. It presents the results of the years of the research into the surface water quality of the Kotorosl River in the Yaroslavl Region, the exposure load on the adults and children is assessed, and the peculiarities of risk-taking of the surface water source are identified. It is shown, that under the current peroral exposure the priority critical organs are the blood, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system. The executed clustering of the river plots allowed us to determine the problem areas.

The study results showed the perspective of risk assessment integration of the public health into water management planning, which will allow to optimize and increase the efficiency of basin management system.

Keywords

basin management, the surface water, human health risk assessment, pollutants.
