According to the researches, the water level in the Goryn River (above the Baltic Sea level) fluctuated within a month from 192.70 m to 192.76 m in February, 2019 (the minimum value is 192.87 m; the maximum value is 192.87 m; the average is 192.78 m):

In February 2019, the temperature of water in the Goryn River varied from 0.6°С to 3.1°С during the month (minimum value is 0.6; maximum value is 3.1; average is 1.8):

In February 2019, the water flow in the Goryn River changed from 7.32 to 8.64 m³/s during the month  (the minimum value was 7.32; the maximum value was 11.1; the average was 9.1):

The total flow of the Goryn River amounted to 22.010 million m³ in February 2019 (February 2018 - 24.017 million m³) .

The water level of the reservoir-cooler (at the design level of 203.0 m above the Baltic Sea level)  varied from 201.91 to 201.94 meters during the month in February 2019 (the minimum value is 201.91, the maximum value is 201.94, the average - 201.93):

The mirror area of the cooling pond was 18,172 km², the volume of water was 97.660 million m³ at the end of the month.

In February 2019, the temperature of the water in the cooling pond varied from 3.06°C to 6.0°C during the month (minimum value is 3.0, maximum value is 9.0, average - 5.9):

The chemical analysis data of water quality in the reservoir-cooler (the pump station of auxiliary water) and in the Goryn River (near the Old Mill, Netishyn) were as follows in February:

According to the data of chemical analysis results mentioned above, the water quality of the reservoir-cooler in February was better than the water quality in the Goryn River regarding some coefficients.

The main water balance components of Khmelnitsky NPP cooling pond are listed in the table below:

Component	February 2019	February 2018
WATER INPUT
- Outflows from the Hnylyi Rih River, mln. m3	1,706	1,450
- Horyn River water pumped to KhhNPP cooling pond by the makeup water pumping station, mln. m3	N/A	N/A
- Return water from the drainage line to KhhNPP cooling pond pumped by the leakage water pumping station, mln. m3	1,507	1,609
- Treated effluent water, mln. m3	0,262	0,289
WATER OUTPUT
- Return water to the Viliia River (Horyn River basin), mln.m3	N/A	N/A

Over February, emission of pollutants into the atmosphere was in compliance with the limits established for stationary pollution sources. Thus, the pollutant emission standards were not exceeded. The generalized information on pollutants emission is given below in the table.

Emission	February 2019	February 2018
Pollutants (without СО2), t	4,379	2,961
СО2, t	0	0

According to the data of ambient air composition research, the month maximum one-time concentration of oxide sulfur at the border of the protected sanitary area of KhNPP (in Neteshin) was <0.05 mg/m3 (<10.0 % from MAC), the maximum one-time concentration of oxide nitrogen was <0.020 mg/m3 (<10.0 % from MAC) in February.

Total precipitation was 10.4 mm during February. (February 2018 - 51.3 mm). Based on the research of precipitation composition, pH value was 6.8 units.

The average month air temperature was «+1.6°С» (the maximum daily temperature was «+7.2°С», the minimum daily temperature was «-4.0°С»).
