Description: This scientific paper examines the impact of anthropogenic and climatic factors on the hydrological regime of the Dnieper River. The study employs statistical analysis and time-series forecasting to assess historical changes in river flow, focusing on two distinct periods: the construction of the cascade of Dnieper reservoirs (1936–1977) and the subsequent stabilization of the hydrological conditions under climatic and anthropogenic influences (1978–present). The findings indicate a long-term reduction in river flow due to a combination of climate change and human activity, emphasizing the need for improved water resource management and adaptation strategies.
