Additional information
From the Editors. The importance and need for further upgrading of the scientific level of planning and formulation of a long-term prediction of the development of the national economy, based on multipurpose utilization of the natural resources and general air and water pollution control, were pointed out by Comrade L. I. Brezhnev in the Summary Report submitted by the Central Committee of the CPSU to the 24th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on March 30, 1971. At the present time, the water resources economy of the Soviet Union has entered into a special stage in its development, in which all the increasing water needs of the national economy are leading to a reduction or exhaustion of the water resources in many regions. As a result of these circumstances, it becomes necessary under the present conditions and, especially, in the future, to conserve the water resources, to adhere to the principles of multipurpose utilization and conservation, to introduce on a broad scale the scientific findings in the management of water when establishing the direction of the development of the water resources economy and when designing water projects. New problems in the development of the water resources economy of the Soviet Union arise also from the ideas formulated in the “Bases of Water Laws in the USSR and the Union Republics,” adopted by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in December, 1970, as well as from the tasks set forth in the resolutions of the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU (July, 1970). In this connection, the Editorial Board considers it desirable to devote greater attention to the problems relating to water resources. We include here an article by the Division Director of the Institute of Water Problems of the USSR, Yu. V. Aleksandrovskii, who discusses certain problems relating to the long-term development of the water resources economy of this country. The Editorial Board invites the readers to send their comments on these problems.
