Development of scientific foundations and water management in Ukraine

Water resources of Ukraine are formed at the expense of inflow of transit river waters from foreign countries, local flow and underground waters. The potential resources of river waters are 209.8 km3, of which only a quarter is formed within Ukraine, the rest comes from Russian Federation, Belarus, Romania, Moldova.

For Ukraine, the special economic and ecological importance such cross-border rivers as the Dnipro (shared by 3 countries) and the Danube (shared by 18 countries), which impact largely on the state of the Black Sea.

The Dnipro River became a transboundary water body after the collapse of the USSR. There is no an agreement between Ukraine, Russia and Belarus on the use of this river and its protection. Some aspects of this issue are regulated on the basis of common bilateral agreements. The Dnipro River became a transboundary water body after the collapse of the USSR.

Tisza, Pruth and Siret are the tributaries of the Danube, which is located within Ukraine

The automated information and measuring system “Tisza” for flood forecasting and water management in the Tisza river basin gives an opportunity to solve the following issues:

The Prut and Siret rivers basins cover the territory of Chernivtsi region in Ukraine and Romania

The line scheme of the Siret river basin

Consequences of destructive action of water

A main cause of frequent flooding in the region of the Siret and Prut rivers basins is the hydrometeorological situation and structure of the river, and economic activity in the basins. These include : global climate change; cyclic occurrence of periods of raising the level of undergroundwater; uncontrolled economic activity in the catchment area and violation of the rules of construction on this area, including floodplains of mountain district of the Siret and Prut rivers basins; large sloping of the rivers and significant slopes and a lack of the water transport capacity; significant reduction of the area of forests and forest plantations, especially unsystematic deforestation on the slopes, which accelerating the runoff water in the rivers and floods abrupt formation of high levels; consumerism practice in the valleys of the rivers and the mountains, especially in the areas of forests; lack of water regulating structures financing.

Deformations of the channel which arise when extracting gravel

Gravel deposits, a mass of trees, roots, twigs that have accumulated during the annual flooding

At present, about 20 km among 139 km flood objects which have been on the balance of Chernivtsi water management agency require major repairs and complete reconstruction. As a result, under the threat of flooding and destruction along the Prut and Siret rivers are 73 settlements with an area of a possible flooding more than 200 km2, where about 40 thousand people live. And the similar situation on small rivers during floods might have negative impact on an area of 370 km2 and 156 settlements.
