- Abstract
The results of recent studies carried out in the State Hydrological Institute were generalized to present new data on the estimation of long-term dynamics of water resources and water use for all administrative regions of RF, as well as current and anticipated variations in water resources in the nearest future. Estimates were constructed for changes in water use, load on water resources, and water availability, especially in the recent two decades, during which Russia experienced most significant changes in the major factors determining the state of water resources, i.e., climate change and socio-economic transformations. Estimates are given for constituent entities of RF and for hydroclimatic regions of the country as a whole.
