Abstract

Protection of the rivers’ waters, which get to the territories of other states, has recently become one of the most important and crucial issues and decisions to be make on those issues depending on the governments and scientists of the boundary countries. The plenty of the rivers runs into the Black See. Besides, it also runs on the territory of Ukraine where mining regions and many industrial and processing facilities are located.
