Abstract

The state of knowledge of water resources, problems
of its protection, and prospects for cooperation in
the Russian Arctic are becoming the most important
components of the domestic and foreign policies of
the Russian Federation. Due to the long-term and seasonal changes
in river runoff and the “dispersed” economic activity,
it is difficult to overestimate the socio-economic
importance of water resources in the Arctic, including
fresh water reserves (Atlas of the Arctic, 1985, p. 97-98).
The emerging Russian environmental policy in the
Arctic is the objective of research and improvement of
the national legislation and management capacities.
