Monitoring and evaluation of the passage of high water and floods in 2018 in the Amur region

Abstract

The Amur Region has significant water resources, which are characterized by a pronounced rise in water levels during the spring flood, significant rises and falls in the summer-autumn period. The hydrological regime of the region's water basin requires competent interaction with the operational services of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, with the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision, the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Natural Resources, the Federal Service for Supervision in the protection of consumer rights and human well-being, with the executive authorities of the Amur Region and local governments, as well as the correct forecasting of the development of floods in the basins of the main rivers, the forecast of the timing of their opening, as well as the preparation of planned preventive and preventive anti-flood measures, allows minimizing the negative impact of water from high water and floods. Raid activities were carried out to examine possible sources of pollution and economic facilities located in water protection zones and zones of predicted flooding, which may have a negative impact on the quality of water resources.
