Abstract:

Based on the analysis of statistical information, the authors consider the issues of the current state and dynamics of the water management in the Karelian part of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation in relation to the trends in the socio-economic development of the region. They give the characteristics of the main industrial centers of the region: the cities of Belomorsk, Nadvoitsy, Kostomuksha, Kem, Nadvoitsy village, and assess the water management situation in the catchment areas of the main rivers of the region — tributaries of the White Sea (Kem and Vyg). The authors have determined the scale and dynamics of water consumption, water disposal and their components over the past 50 years. They outline that the current socio-economic conditions for the development of the Karelian part of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation express themselves in a sharp drop in production and a significant decrease in the population, which also affects the water management situation in the region under consideration.

Finance info: The research was financially supported by the federal budget to implement the state assignment of the Institute of Water Problems of the North, KarRC RAS on fundamental research “Comprehensive research of the White Sea and the watershed in the interests of the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation” (State registration No. 121021700122-7). The authors are grateful to O. V. Derusova, Chief Specialist for scientific and technical information of the Institute of Water Problems of the North, Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, for valuable assistance in the preparation of the article.
