Abstract
Deterioration of the Black Sea ecosystem is
determinated by the great number of abiotic and biotic
factors. one of them is water flow of main rivers the
Black Sea basin the Danube, Dniester and Dnieper.
Its summary average annual water flow reach at 260
km (Michailov, 1981). Water content, its distribution
within a year and water quality influence on water
quality of northwestern part of the Black Sea. Content
of organic matter and nutrient in riverine input are
high and resulting loads find their way to the river
delta and sea. Analyze of longterm investigations data
show, that water flow of the Danube, Dniester and Dnieper
river is important Source entering of organic matter
and nutrients into the sea. Investigations and calculations
show, that the riverine input to the Black Sea contain
8146 of organic matter, 366.3 total inorganic nitrogen
and 358.5 thousand tons (tt) total phosphorus per year.
