The editions of the state water cadastre contain data on the regime and resources of surface waters of the land and consist of two parts

Part 1 - "Rivers and Canals",
Part 2 - "Lakes and reservoirs"

The publications are made annually (SBS) and summarized for the entire observation period (BDO)

The data in the annual HWP and the reference book of the LWP are presented in the form of tables with permanent numbers. For the convenience of using the material, the publications contain an alphabetical list and schemes of hydrological stations.

Annual data on the regime and resources of land surface waters (ASWR)

The first part "Rivers and Canals" publishes data of standard hydrological observations on rivers and canals on water level and temperature, water body condition, ice thickness, water and sediment flow; surface water resources and their use, total water intakes and discharges in river basins and their sections (stored in the GDA of the Central Hydrological Organization), as well as water discharges and levels according to hydropower plants and hydroelectric power stations and reservoir inlets.

The second part "Lakes and Reservoirs" publishes data of standard hydrological observations on lakes and reservoirs (at coastal posts and in the reservoir area) on water level and temperature, water body condition, ice thickness, waves, currents, bank reformation, meteorological elements; heat reserves and water balance of reservoirs.

The publication is a continuation of the Hydrological Yearbooks (HY).

Long-term data on the regime and resources of land surface waters

The publication of the GDS is a continuation of the previously published reference books "Basic Hydrological Characteristics" (BHC) and "Long-term Data on the Regime and Resources of Land Surface Waters" (LDR).

The first edition of the reference book contains information from the beginning of observations to 1962,

the second edition - 1963-1970,

the third edition - 1971-1975,

the fourth edition - 1976-1980,

In 2014, the reference publication of the State Water Cadastre "Characteristic Water Levels of Rivers, Canals, Lakes and Reservoirs" was published. This publication contains information for the period 1981-2010 in the sections "Rivers and Canals" and "Lakes and Reservoirs" - all three issues in one book. This publication is a continuation and is similar in structure to the one published in 1989 by Hydrometeorological Publishing House.

It is possible to purchase an electronic version of the reference book "Long-term data on the regime and resources of surface waters of the land" (LDR) for 1981-2000 and for 2001-2010 by bank transfer.

CLIMATE CADASTRE OF UKRAINE

(standard climatic norms for the period 1961-1990)

The Cadastre contains climatic characteristics of the main meteorological parameters that can be used in planning and designing facilities for various purposes in agriculture, transport, construction, energy systems, for scientific research, environmental protection, and by specialists engaged in hydrometeorological support of various sectors of the economy.

The cadastre consists of 6 parts:

Part 1: Solar radiation and sunshine;
Part 2. Atmospheric pressure and wind;
Part 3. Air and soil temperature;
Part 4. Air humidity, precipitation and snow cover;
Part 5. Cloud cover
Part 6: Atmospheric phenomena and ice and frost formations.

The Cadastre contains long-term meteorological data for individual hours, days, months, seasons, and years. Climatological information for meteorological variables is represented by the main statistical parameters: average, extreme (highest and lowest) values with indication of the year when they were observed, absolute maximums and minimums (extremes) with indication of the date of observation of the corresponding extreme, measure of variability (standard deviation, coefficient of variation), and for certain characteristics - frequency (recurrence) or probability.

It is especially important to calculate the extreme value of a given probability (quantile). The standards of many economic sectors that take into account climatic characteristics in their activities are based on extremes of different probabilities. The climate information is summarized for the period 1961-1990, which is a standard period and is accepted by the WMO as the period that best characterizes modern global climate change. Extreme characteristics are given in the Inventory for the entire period of observation, i.e., almost 150 years.

The Inventory includes data on 187 stations of the meteorological network of Ukraine. In addition to the station data, Part 4 "Precipitation" summarizes data from almost 300 stations, i.e. the tables contain data from 460 locations. The extreme characteristics are selected from the data of all meteorological stations that have ever operated in Ukrainian cities for the entire period of meteorological observations.

It is possible to purchase the electronic version of the Cadastre by bank transfer.

Summary of annual publications for services.

Yearbook of the state of atmospheric air pollution in Ukraine based on observations of hydrometeorological organizations.

The Yearbook summarizes observation data for 39 cities of Ukraine and 129 stationary posts, which was 53 cities and 163 posts before 2014. The Yearbook includes tabular data on the number of atmospheric air samples collected in each city, the number of determinations for each pollutant. Separately, for each city, there is a map with the addresses of stationary posts and wind roses for cold and warm periods and a year, a brief description of the level of pollution in the city for the year, a table with average annual and maximum concentrations for the year for each pollutant at each post, a table with average annual concentrations of pollutants for the last five years (trend). In addition, the Yearbook contains a section on the meteorological characteristics of the city for the year, a table with the average annual and maximum concentrations of pollutants in the city for the year, a section on the state of air pollution in Ukraine in general, a table with the air pollution indices (API) for all cities where observations were made, indicating the priority pollutants and the main industries whose emissions are the most polluting.

Yearbook on the state of soil pollution.

The Yearbook consists of two sections: the first section contains information on the state of soil contamination of agricultural land by pesticides (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in combination with dichlorodiphenylethylene (DDE), alpha and gamma isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCCH) and nitrates. The Yearbook contains data on the number of agricultural districts where observations are conducted, a table with average and maximum concentrations of pesticides and nitrates for the year, a table with all primary information on the concentrations of pesticides and nitrates in each sample collected with reference to the sampling site, and a brief description of the level of soil contamination.

It provides a brief description of soil pollution in each settlement where sampling was conducted, tabular data on average annual and maximum concentrations of heavy metals, as well as a table with all primary information on the concentrations of heavy metals in each sample collected at the sampling sites. In addition, maps are provided - schemes of sampling for pesticides and heavy metals, maps of the level of soil contamination with heavy metals.

Overview of the state of environmental pollution in Ukraine for the first half of the year and for the year. The reviews contain information on the state of environmental pollution in Ukraine according to the data of the monitoring network of hydrometeorological organizations for a certain period. The Review contains generalized information on the state of pollution of atmospheric air, precipitation, surface waters by hydrochemical and hydrobiological indicators, sea waters, and soils, as well as information on the radiation state of atmospheric air and surface waters.
