Abstract
Present-day changes in the landscape structure of the Don Basin are analyzed. Data of water-balance stations are used to determine the contributions of various land types to the formation of spring surface flow. Estimates are given for the present-day anthropogenic and climatic changes in the surface flow and infiltration into soil in plowed lands during spring flood, as well as river flow and its surface and subsurface components. A characteristic formation feature of the annual water balance is shown to be a considerable decrease in the surface flow component along with an increase in its subsurface component. The identified trends in the current changes in the runoff from the Don watershed are stable and have to be taken into account in the forecasting of water resources for the nearest future.
