Abstract
According to the results of 2019-2020 studies, we considered the features of hydrological, thermal, ice regime and water turbidity of the small urban Setun River, one of the largest right tributaries of the Moscow River, flowing in the western part of the city of Moscow. The specific discharge from the Setun watershed is 1.5-2 times and the turbidity is 3 times higher than in natural conditions in the upper Moscow River basin. Due to thermal pollution by wastewater, ice cover forms only in the upper reaches of the river during sustained frosts, and water temperature within the city is 1.5-2.5 degrees higher (up to 6 degrees in winter).Keywords
