organisation profile
The Institute of Water Resource Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences, is a leading Russian scientific centre in the area of scientific support for water resources management, control and protection, assessing water objects environmental condition, natural water quality control, estimating the effect of water medium on the environment and the population's health. The basic research methods are:
Mathematical modeling of natural processes,
Developing simulation and optimization models,
Carrying out laboratory and field research works.
The main themes facing the Institute are the investigation of regularities of formation of land waters regime and quality, complex evaluation of water resources and development of scientific substantiation for their rational use, management and protection. Fundamental research includes the following directions:
Development of the theory of water resources formation, land waters quality and regime, including the investigation of processes of land hydrological cycle and its modeling; determination of regularities of the regime of surface, ground and soil waters and their interaction; estimation of the impact of climate changes and human activity on water balance elements and water resources;
Study of regularities in water quality formation.
Investigation of land waters interaction with the environment, including the study of reservoirs impact on the environment, regularities of the formation of the regime and resources of Inland seas and river mouth areas under the conditions of human impact; estimation of the impact of changes in the hydrological regime on ecosystems of inland water bodies and ground biocenoses.
Theoretical and experimental studies of processes, occurring within water bodies and their impact on aquatic ecosystems, envisaging theoretical and experimental studies of hydro physical, hydro dynamical, hydro chemical, hydro biological and other processes in the aquatic medium; interaction between freshwater and seawater; seawater intrusion in coastal areas and dynamics of freshwater lenses in arid zones; methods of forecasting processes, occurring within water bodies and their impact on ecological conditions.
Protection of land waters and complex effective use of water resources. This direction implies development of scientific basis of land water protection against exhaustion and pollution, methods and mathematical models of water resource systems' development and operation; improvement of theory and methods of control and management of land waters resources and regime.
The Institute participated in the elaboration and realization of many Federal programmes concerning water problems in Russia. These programmes are:1). "Ecological safety of Russia", part "Clean waters of Russia";
2). "Improvement of economic situation in the Volga River basin, restoration of ecosystems and prevention of their degradation" ("Revival of the Volga River");
3). "Solution of social, economic and ecological problems due to the level rise of the Caspian Sea (1996-2000)";
4). "Protection of the Black Sea and Azov Sea coasts against dangerous natural phenomena";
5). "Rational use of water resources and raising the reliability of providing Moscow with water up to 2010".
