Abstract

Indices characterizing the withdrawal of water resources in the basins of rivers flowing into the Caspian Sea and the use of these resources in different economic sectors in 1970–2003 are analyzed. The dynamics of disposal of wastewaters and collector-drainage waters is discussed. Tendencies in changes in the volumes of consumptive water use in the basins of individual rivers and the Caspian Sea as a whole are identified.
