AB  - Siberia is a region exceptionally rich in natural resources, and its importance to the national economy continues to grow. This is reflected in the Basic Guidelines for the Economic and Social Development of the USSR for 1981–1985 and for the Period up to 1990, adopted by the Twenty-Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union:“In Siberia, accelerated development is envisaged for the fuel industry, electric power industry, non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical and petrochemical industries, forestry, pulp and paper production, wood-processing and microbiological industries, and the building materials industry. The food-supply base is to be substantially strengthened through the development of agriculture and agricultural processing industries.”The tasks of rational utilization and conservation of the region’s natural resources, as well as the study of complex geographical problems and their consideration in economic planning, are becoming increasingly urgent.In terms of reserves of many types of mineral raw materials, Siberia occupies a leading position within the country. This is particularly true of fuel and energy resources, including oil, natural gas, and coal. Siberian deposits of these resources will form the basis of the nation’s energy supply by the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. Reserves of many other mineral resources are also enormous, including iron ores, non-ferrous metal ores, and construction materials. Objective prerequisites exist for establishing a powerful phosphate raw-material base in Siberia capable of meeting the fertilizer requirements of agricultural production in the eastern regions of the country.The solution of almost every problem related to national economic development is connected, to one degree or another, with water supply. As industrial and agricultural production expands, the rational use of water resources becomes a matter of primary importance in Siberia, especially in view of
