The article contains an analysis of fresh water use in the Ural federal district for 2012-2015 years and waste waters characteristics. The materialsused forthe study included the data on the protection of the environment in Ural Federal district.

And among the autonomous districts and regions, Khanty-Mansisk AD and Sverdlovsk region dominate by this index. Maximal volume of the waste waters is noted in Sverdlovsk region (952 mln. m3). In the time course, significant decrease of their volume was revealed only in Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions.Sverdlovskand Chelyabinsk regions are characterized by the largest volume of the waste waters, requiring treatment on the average for 2012-2015 years (79.4% and 88.9% of waste watersvolume -in total).
