Physical and Geographical Base of Melioration and Hydrology
The article gives a description of melioration hydrology, its geographical and anthropogenic essence. It also specifes the role of physical-and-geographical process in forming elements of water and thermal balance of territories. The article describes the theoretical and practical criteria of optimizing nature systems, in particular - structures of melioration hydrology. It also proves the formation of the models of hydro-climatic calculations made by M. Budiko and V. Mezentsev on the basis of the physical-and-geographical process, which determines their great theoretical and practical importance.
