Abstract
It has been shown that the status of some Karelian water bodies had changed as a result of human impact and atmospheric precipitation has a role in the surface waters’ chemical composition formation. Assessment of biogenic elements and organic matter input to the Lake Onego and the Lake Ladoga from various natural and anthropogenic sources has been done. Higher load from point sources in comparison with diffuse sources has been registered for the Lake Onego in comparison with the Lake Ladoga. Many-year change of the Vygozero reservoir water chemical composition has been presented. This reservoir receives the Segezh paper-pulp plant waste waters and the Kenti River system waters with technogenic waters from the Kostomuksha mining/concentrating plant. It has been stated that atmospheric precipitations serve the main source of the biogenic elements and heavy metals input, while input of mineral and organic substances with the precipitation is insignificant. For the first time assessment of the Karelian water bodies’ state caused by the natural, climatic, and anthropogenic factors’ impact has been done.
