Digital Platform for Construction of Environmental and Economic Water Resource Maps

Today, for balanced environmental management, it is necessary to consider and assess the availability and condition of natural resources and the environment quality on time. To accomplish the goals specified, this paper suggests using the databases characterizing the water resource management in Ural, Siberian, and Far Eastern Federal Districts to prepare the environmental and economic maps that reflect the water resource availability, quality, and use efficiency as well as the adverse affecting factors. The maps were created on the basis of public statistics as well as the data provided by the companies using natural resources. The maps were made with the statistics collection and analysis methods to develop the indicators that reflected the intensity, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of water resource use as well as the software products like Microsoft Excel and Surfer. The research results can be used by water management and environmental protection specialists as well as federal and regional authorities to develop water management and protection programs.
