Abstract

Variations in the characteristics of the annual, dry-season, and minimal monthly runoff in rivers of European Russia for the recent 35 years (1975–2005) have been estimated and analyzed in comparison with a period of approximately the same duration (1935–1969). The genesis of runoff for different river basins and the major causes of current changes in runoff characteristics have been studied. Regional regularities in the hydrological and geohydrological processes have been identified, and zoning of the territory has been performed with identification of specific features in the formation of river runoff in the European North and the basins of the Volga, Don, Ural, etc. The natural resources of surface and subsurface waters over 1970–2005 have been re-estimated with the construction of appropriate maps. Water availability and load on water resources have been analyzed.
