The bottom sediments of river hydroecosystems were studied for the gross content of heavy metals (K, Ti Cr,
Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr and Hg). The environmental and geochemical processes of bottom-sediment formation
in aqua landscapes were analyzed, allowing us to stress the need to determine the methodological basis for the
correlation-regression dependence of the heavy metal accumulation processes in bottom sediments, as well as
total content of organic carbon. The ranking of pairwise correlation coefficients arranged in decreasing order is:
TOC:Cu (0.87)>TOC:K (0.82)>TOC: Ni (0.75)> TOC:Sr (0.73)> TOC:Fe, (0.7)>TOC:Ti (0.67)> TOC:Hg (0.63)>
TOC: Cr (0.58)>TOC:Rb (0.56)> and TOC:Zn (0.51). The proposed methodological approach determines the
environmental and geochemical aspects of the sedimentation processes heavy metals, while also identifying the
general trends in hydroecosystems prone to the anthropogenic impact.
