Abstract

The article considers the set of water management problems that has formed in the Don Basin in the context of current changes in the hydrological regime of rivers and an increase in the demand for the reliability of water resources available for economic sectors. Despite the decline in production and water consumption, the ecological conditions of water bodies in the basin have not improved, many problems have become more acute, the overall environmental situation has deteriorated, and fish production in the Sea of Azov has decreased. Hydrochemical observations in the Don Basin demonstrate deterioration of water quality. Measures proposed to improve water management situation are discussed. It is shown that the forecasts of water use and changes in water environment made in the 1970s have not proved true. The ways to solving the problem of water supply in the Azov–Don Basin are considered.
