An assessment of the anthropogenic load and the classification of the ecological state of the Pripyat river basin (within the Western Polesie of Ukraine) has been made. The calculation was carried out using four independent models of the main subsystems of the river basin: “Radioactive contamination of the territory”, “Land use”, “River flow utilization”, “Water quality”. The value of the induction coefficient of anthropogenic load is determined. The overall ecological state of the Pripyat basin river is assessed as “satisfactory”.
