Problems of SWRIUP and PIN Development and Some Ways of Their Solution
The paper contains analysis of problems arising in development of Schemes for Water Bodies Integrated Use and Protection (SWBIUP) and norms of permissible impact upon water bodies (PIN) such as unjustified detailed elaboration, high cost of development, and criteria of contest on SWBIUP and PIN conduction, etc. A number of constructive proposals have been made in respect of SWBIUP and PIN development, SWBIUP composition and content and high-priority normalizing methodological activities, namely, cutting down the number of development stages (from 6 to 3) and documents to be prepared (from 18 books to 6 books), reduction of the input data volume, quantity and load of maps, etc.; speeding up of the signing of intergovernmental agreements on the use of such transboundary water bodies as the Irtysh, the Selenga, the Amur, etc.; inclusion of the Ob basin SWBIUP into the development plan beginning from 2010, and identification of head design and research organizations per regions of the Russian Federation. All these measures could significantly reduce composition and volume of the documents to be prepared, cost and time of works on SWBIUP and PIN without any harm to their quality.
