Description
Summary:The formation conditions of subsurface and surface water runoff and their resources have been analyzed. It has been shown that changes in recent years were accompanied by a considerable decrease in the unevenness of within-year distribution, an increase in the subsurface and a decrease in the surface components of river runoff. The natural regulation of runoff in many Russian rivers has been found to increase, a factor that can improve the reliability of water use, especially, during dry seasons. Analysis of the current formation conditions of runoff and water resources of watersheds and regions in European Russia will ensure better forecasts of groundwater resources for the nearest and distant perspective, taking into account different variants of changes in the major resource-forming climate characteristics in accordance with the existing scenarios of global and regional climate models.
