greatest power of Russia is second only to water riches of Brazil.In this regard, our country is an important and imposed a special responsibility in that regard to the protection, respect and use of water resources.
little problems
in there enough water for the life of the richness of our region?
growing worldwide shortage of clean water.Statistics confirm that today every fourth inhabitant of the earth needs one cup of water.Approximately half a million people lack the water.
large expanses of territory of Russia are rich in natural resources.Water wealth of our region can cause an even greater interest in our global resources.
problems associated with providing water and affect Russia as well as the distribution of groundwater and surface water across the country is uneven.Densely populated (up to 80% of the total population) - the Central, Volga and Southern regions - have only 10% of water resources of all sizes.So now is critical and rational use of water resources management.
Like everywhere else in the world, the main consumers of water are the enterprises of the energy industry.But is not the problem, but the fact that the water in our high-volume capture of foreign capital.Today, the huge power of water belong to foreign companies (70% or more).This is due to the fact that the Russian leaders and engineers of our businesses are replaced by foreigners.
Water riches of our region: statistics
Russia - the first in the world in reserves of surface and underground fresh water.This represents more than 20% of worldwide resources.The volume of runoff in an average year in Russia about 4270 cubic kilometers, which is about 30 thousand cubic meters per year per person in our country.
Total water wealth of our region has more than 2.5 million. River (127 thousand. Used);2 million lakes;about 30 thousand. reservoirs;37 systems (the largest) redistribution of flow between the basins;nearly 5 thousand. fields with groundwater.Stocks of all explored deposits contain about 33 cubic kilometers per year.
main water sources are located in the European North (Siberia and the Far East).In these areas, home to only 1/5 of the population of Russia and, accordingly, focuses smaller part of agricultural and industrial potential of the country.
In quantitative terms, the Russian water resources consist of static (secular) and re-renewable resources.
share rivers of Russia is 22% of the world level, the lakes - 30%, swamps - more than 1/4 of glaciers - less than 1%, and groundwater - more than 5%.
total value of the total volume of fresh water natural resources of our country are about more than 10100 CMH / year.And make up the bulk of the water of river flow (over 41%) and soil water (approximately 34%).
Placing resources on the territory of Russia.Water riches of our land, its quality
Water resources of Russia are quite large.Yet many Russian regions already have and will have serious problems with water supply to the economy and population.The reason is mainly in the uneven distribution of water resources throughout the territory, which do not always meet the needs of, and the high degree of water pollution.
Water wealth of our region are mainly located on rivers: Ob (Siberia);Yenisey (Siberia);Lena (Siberia);Amur (Russia, China, Mongolia);Volga (Russia, Kazakhstan);Colima (Yakutia);Don - one of the oldest (Tula region);Hatanga (Krasnoyarsk region);Indigirka (which flows into the Arctic Ocean);Northern Dvina (Vologda region);Kama - the largest tributary of the river.Volga (the European part of Russia).
Russia has rich water resources.The object of our region - Ob river - has the largest length of all the rivers of Russia - 5410 km.
water quality of many water bodies is now unsatisfactory.Today classified as "contaminated" the following major rivers: the Volga, the Kuban, the Yenisei, Pechora, Don, the Urals, the Donets.The class of "dirty" include: Iset, Moscow, Ob, Miass, Terek and others.Their pollution impairs the quality of water for drinking.
resources in Siberia, Krasnoyarsk Territory
Water wealth of Krasnoyarsk region are in the basin of the Arctic Ocean.The main tributaries of the main river Yenisei edge: right - Tuba, Kan Mans, Big Pete, Kureyka, Angara, Stony Tunguska and Lower Tunguska, Hantayka;Left - Large Heth, Abakan, Elohim, Sym, Turuhan.
There are also rivers Chulym and Ket (middle and upper reaches), which belong to the basin.Ob.In the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are large rivers - Khatanga (North-west of Eastern Siberia), Taimyr, Pyasina.
Eat all the rivers due to the melting of snow in the mountains in spring and summer, also due to the rains.Many of the rivers are suitable for rafting and shipping because of their affluent.Many rivers have hydropower resources.
Also on the territory of the region there is a large lake located on the North-Siberian lowland.This lake Taimyr and Pyasino.Several lakes located on the Central Siberian Plateau (Lama, Keta, Deep, Khantayskoye etc.).On the rivers and Yadong Kureyka are the largest waterfalls in Russia.
rich water resources of our country are different size and diversity, uneven distribution of the territory (the largest concentration in sparsely populated areas with unfavorable climatic conditions and at the same time, the depletion of an already well-populated areas).
