		The Pripyat River catchment area occupies the central part of the Polessia lowland lying mainly in Belarus, and is the main river in the lowland.
		Use of the Pripyat River is for water supply for towns and cities lying adjacent to it, for industrial water supply to the oil processing plant, and for cooling water for nuclear power stations at Chernobyl and Kuznetsovsk, on the Styr tributary of the river.
		River transport used to be important, with the Bug-Dneiper canal providing a major international route using a large stretch of the Pripyat, but traffic volumes have fallen dramatically since the break-up of the Soviet Union.

		The Dnieper river is important for the transport and economy of Ukraine: the river's reservoirs have all been equipped with large ship locks, allowing vessels of up to 270×18 metres to access even the port of Kiev and thus creating a perfect transport corridor.
		The river is used by passenger vessels too: inland cruises on the rivers Danube and Dnieper have been a growing market in recent decades.

		The relative sparsity of human population in the area, combined with the ready availability of water, was a key factor in the decision to build the ill-fated Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the marshes in 1970.
		The city of Pripyat was constructed nearby to house the plant's workers.

	Belovezhskaya Pushcha - XXI Century \| Book1 \| Problems of river preservation
		The Narev River originates in the Support (Buffer) Zone of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha, very close to the head of the Yasselda - the left tributary of the Pripyat River, where historically the exchange of fauna and flora complexes between the Baltic and the Black Sea basins have most probably taken place.
		The rivers of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha are, moreover, the chief factor in determining the level of ground waters in the territory of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha forest tracts.
		The Narev River hydrological regime and that of its right-bank tributaries have suffered greatly, and by 1999, this had resulted in material changes to the flora and fauna of the rivers in question.

		Given that the Dnipro River flow is greatly affected by various human activities, mainly concentrated in the Lower Dnipro Basin, assessment of global climatic changes and their impact on water resource needs to be based on data collected in the relatively undisturbed upper river stretches.
		In the Pripyat River Basin, benthic fauna development is mainly affected by natural factors (soil properties and hydrological regime), while the effect of anthropogenic factors is minor.
		River water samples analysed for toxicity in the field were found to contain no toxic substances at detectable levels, whereas chronic toxic effects were found in the laboratory.

		Most rivers are not so lucky: either the water comes back contaminated with pollutants, or not at all.

		In that area the upper unconfined aquifer is contaminated every-where with 90Sr to levels exceeding 4 Bq/L. Caesium and plutonium are less mobile and contamination from these elements is confined to the immedi-ate vicinity of the disposal trenches.
		The relative mobility of the 90Sr is especially important in that, from the closest trenches, it might reach the Pripyat River in 10 to 20 years.
		Although it was previously felt that, radioelements could spread to the Pripyat river and down stream to the Black see, this has not occurred.
