- Abstract
Water resources of lakes with natural and regulated hydrological regime are evaluated, and estimates are given to the water resources of artificial water bodies in three federal districts in the Asian part of RF (Ural, Siberian, and Far-Eastern) and the constituent entities of the Federation they contain. The estimates were made by a new procedure, incorporating up-to-date satellite data and functions of Google Earth project. In the Asian part of RF, ~3140000 natural water bodies were analyzed, including ~1170000 lakes >1 ha in area and ~6000 artificial water bodies. Lake water resources in the Asian part of RF amount to 24537 km3, of which ~96% are contained in Lake Baikal. Other 638 km3 are contained in artificial water bodies.
