Assessment of the environmental sustainability of surface waters in Western Siberia

Abstract

Topical issues of comparison of natural-resource and technogenic potentials of river basins of Western Siberia on the basis of data on local and transit river flow are considered, the assessment of water resources and water availability of territories for the purpose of revealing of ecological potential of surface waters is carried out. Methods of determination of ecological and geographical characteristics on the basis of which the conclusion about their value in the system of regulation of anthropogenic load is made are analyzed. The results of calculations of the specific environmental Technoelast surface water resources (tпв), in the middle year in Western Siberia and their dependence on the latitude.
