With account of degrees of an anthropogenic load of river basins the estimation of their ecologic condition with application of a ball system is made. For definition of anthropogenic load parameters reflecting degree of population density and per cattle on each km², as far as coefficients of forest land, anthropogenization and also rivers pollution degree are utilized. Is detected that, 2% of the investigated rivers are subjected to gentle, 25% ─ moderate and 73% ─ large degree of anthropogenic load. According to pollution index the fluvial waters are related basically to moderately contaminated and polluted waters (III and IV classes).
