Abstract
The article coverage the development issues Carpathian cascade mini-hydro-plants for example basin Cheremosh. It was the influence of existing hydro power plants in natural (water) environment and proved inappropriate, unprofitable and environmental threat. Available mini water plants violate hydrologic regime (water content of the river) and stimulates the development of erosion-accumulative processes, endangered species and benthic organisms integral component of aquatic ecosystems. Operation of small hydropower plants also contributes to shallowing of rivers and creation of artificial barriers for migration and gene pool exchange between populations of aquatic animals. The construction of mini hydro cascade prevents alloys of the river (rafting). In addition there is a threat of ecological security of the region and the development tourism and recreation, social and economic potential of the basin, the Cheremosh. Key words: mini-hydro, river Cheremosh, water quality, environmental hazards, hydrology, hydroecology.
