Abstract

Based on previously obtained hydrochemical data on the reservoirs of the Moscow Canal, the Uglich, Rybinsk, Sheksna, Vytegra, and Belousovo reservoirs along with Lake Onega, thermodynamic calculations were carried out for the forms of the occurrence of trace elements in the waters of these basins. It has been shown that the prevailing forms were represented by free ions for Sr, Ba, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, Co, and Cd, fulvate complexes for Cu, as well as carbonate and fulvate complexes for Pb.
