About the book: 2017 / State legal regulation of environmental management in Russia is a chain of sequential events, strictly connected with each other by the very logic of economics activities in the Russian Empire - USSR - Russian Federation. It is based on the experience, both positive and negative, of the development of natural resources. False management decisions distorted the biosphere we are accustomed to and led to dire socio-economic consequences; correct ones, on the contrary, contributed to the country’s exit from a seemingly impossible situation. The book provides detailed recommendations for managing water resources in the Russian Federation..
