Russia ranks second in the world in terms of renewable water resources. People cannot exist without fresh water; 40% of the world's population suffers from its deficiency. Most often the term «water resources» is used in a narrower sense, meaning fresh water, which is used for food and hygiene, heating, housekeeping and industry.

Russia is rich in water resources, especially in renewable ones. What do renewable water resources mean? It is the water that can be restored in the process of the water cycle in nature, and it can also be used in the economy without harming the ecosystem. Its main source is rivers. The Lena is the longest river in Russia, the basin of which is located entirely on the territory of the country. It is the main transport artery of Yakutia. The Ob and the Yenisey are one of the most full-flowing rivers in the world. They have become the base for the largest hydroelectric power plants that supply energy to the whole of Siberia.

Rivers are the city's water supply, the fertility of fields, fishing, logistics.
