Water Resources of the Russian Part of the Baltic Sea Basin and Their Possible Changes Under Global Warming

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Water ((SPWA))

Abstract

The chapter presents the results of studies on the assessment of streamflow in the rivers of the Russian part of the Baltic Sea basin, carried out by specialists from the State Hydrological Institute in different years, including assessments for the territory of the former Soviet Union. An overview of monographs and other reference publications on the country’s water resources assessment, with an emphasis on water resources estimates defined for the Baltic Sea basin. The changes in water resources and hydrological regime of the rivers occurring since the end of the 70s—the beginning of the 80s of the last century on the territory of Russia under the influence of climate change are described. Predictive estimates of possible changes in river streamflow made at the State Hydrological Institute are presented. Finally, conclusions are given regarding the prospects for solving problems in the study of water resources presented at the last VII All-Russian Hydrological Congress.
