This paper provides results of systematic monitoring of the organic pollutants content in small urban rivers of Chernivtsi, Ukraine. It has been found that this content continuously exceeds maximum concentration limit for any weather conditions. We supposed that unorganized and spontaneous urban effluents provided main part of this pollution. One year long monitoring proved that organic pollutants level lowered significantly even after partial elimination of unorganized effluents of residential waste water (RWW). We suppose that further elimination of RWW effluents would bring organic pollutants content under maximum concentration limit even in the presence of the organized sources of urban rainwater and wastewater.
