Schemes of integrated use and protection of water bodies
(SKIOVO)
Schemes of integrated use and protection of water bodies (Schemes) are to be developed for
each river basin and consist of a complex of systematized text, graphic and schematic materials
in digital or paper format about state and usage of water bodies. The data for the schemes is a
result of observations, water body condition researches, surveys, preproject and project work
on planning and realization of water protection measures and also actions on reduction of
ecological backlash of floods and other adverse impact of waters.
According to the Plan of measures for implementation of Water strategy of the Russian
Federation for the period till 2020 development of Schemes is provided in 2009-2015.
SKIOVO development procedure
SKIOVO are developed by the Federal agency for water resources in accordance with
regulations approved by the order of Russian Federation Government, manuals and in
consideration of recommendations of River basin councils.
Schemes are developed for the period of no less than 10 years. It contains qualitative indicators
of water resources state and characteristics of water use in relation to river basin, sub-basins,
water economy areas and territories of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The
order of scheme development is defined by the Federal agency for water resources on the basis
of the water use situation within the boundaries of river basin.
Participants of the SKIOVO development process: Ministry of economic development of the
Russian Federation; Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation; Ministry of regional
development of the Russian Federation; Ministry of agriculture of the Russian Federation;
Federal service for hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring (Roshydromet); The
Federal supervisory natural resources management service; other interested federal executive
bodies and local authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Long-term, medium-term and short-term forecasts of socio-economic development of Russian
Federation are taken into account in SKIOVO development process. These forecasts consider
the whole country and each region, each trade and also terms of international agreements of
Russian Federation on joint use and protection of transboundary water bodies.
The amount of financing for the realization of the schemes is estimated according to the
amount of the financing needed for development of water economy balances, carrying –out
water management, implementation of measures for protection of water bodies and reduction
of adverse impact of water.
Basin Councils consider the project of SKIOVO within one month and then give corresponding
recommendations to the Federal agency for water resources.

water management problems within the given river basin. Collection of other descriptive and
estimative information about characteristics and problems of the river basin.
Identification of finite number of natural and artificial water bodies situated on the territory of
the river basin. Estimation of anthropogenic load and possible damage from the adverse
impact of waters.

monitoring etc.);
- basic hydrological and morphometric (for surface water bodies) and hydrogeological (for
sub-surface water bodies) characteristics;
English summary of SKIOVO by BASE Russian Partner ‘Ecology and Business’
-
hydrochemical and hydrobiological characteristics of water bodies;
hydrometeorological (climatic) characteristics (precipitation, evaporation, temperature
etc.)
Collection of water economy information, data on freshwater intake from the water bodies and
wastewater discharges on the catchment area, including
- characteristics of the agricultural use of the catchment area (composition and areas of
cultivated crops, agricultural equipment, composition and amount of organic and
mineral fertilizers applied, other agricultural chemicals, methods and areas of irrigation
and drainage, sources of water for irrigation, recipient of drainage water, types and
rates of livestock production, rates of water consumption for needs of livestock
production, ways of storing and utilization of livestock wastes etc.);
- characteristics of industrial use of water resources and water bodies on the catchment
area (rates, annual dynamics and distribution of water consumption and wastewater
discharges, water intensity of production etc.);
- characteristics of water resources use for the purpose of the energy sector;
- characteristics of municipal use of water resources and water bodies on the catchment
area (rates, annual dynamics and distribution of water consumption and wastewater
discharges, water consumption per capita, water losses in distribution facilities etc.)
- characteristics of transport use of water bodies on the catchment area (navigable
waterways and its parameters, navigation timeframe, cargo traffic capacity etc.);
- characteristics of recreational use of water bodies on the catchment area;
- characteristics of protected areas within the catchment area (size and boundaries of
area with restrictions of anthropogenic activity etc.);
Collection of information about water economy infrastructure of the given catchment area,
including:
- general characteristics of regulating storages and river flow distribution system;
- characteristics of surface water intake facilities;
- characteristics of sub-surface water intake facilities;
- characteristics of water delivery channels;
- characteristics of water disposal system;
- characteristics of protecting (antiflood) facilities;
Collection of socio-economic and regulatory information on water use on the given catchment
area, including:
- characteristics of granted rights to use water bodies or its parts (water use licenses in
effect, granted before 01.01.2007; water use agreements, decisions granting water
objects to use etc.);
- federal, regional and local regulations on the issues of water use and protection from
the adverse impact of waters;
English summary of SKIOVO by BASE Russian Partner ‘Ecology and Business’
-
-
data on water tax and fees for the use of water bodies (rates, tariffs, prices, amounts of
the main types of water use, most significant payers etc.)
characteristics of the directions for socio-economic development on the catchment
area, affecting loads on the water bodies (change in population number, plans and
programmes for industrial and agricultural development, nature protection etc.);
characteristics of the system of water management and protection from the adverse
impact of waters within the given catchment area.
One of the main objectives of the Step 1 is identification of gaps in the information needed for
elaboration of programmes for monitoring development, carrying out of scientific and
research work and surveying within the catchment area.
Step 2
Step 2 is devoted to the identification and ranking according to the level of significance of
problems concerning:
- use and protection of water bodies;
- presence of water resources and its availability;
- adverse impact of waters.
The amount of identified water bodies should be reasonably restricted. Catchment area of the
stream is the criteria for the minimal identified stream flow (river). Catchment area of the
stream flow should be no less than 1000 sq. m. The criteria for the minimal identified water
reservoir is the area of water surface being no less than 1 sq. km.
Assessment of the state of identified water bodies as well as evaluation of anthropogenic loads
on these water bodies is based on the information obtained during the Step 1 of the Scheme
development process.
Assessment of current state of water bodies and its state in prospect is made taking into
account calculated water balances, balances of pollutants and microorganisms brought into the
water bodies with waste waters or any other way as a result of anthropogenic activity within or
outside catchment area given. The assessment of current and anticipated state of water bodies
is made with regard to the calculated limits of allowable impact on water bodies.
In cases when main river outfall of one river basin is an infall for another river basin, all
calculated characteristics, including water quality targets, for this site must be absolutely
identical in Schemes for both river basins.
While preparation of water economy balances for the period of Scheme validity it is highly
recommended to take into account characteristics of possible river flow change, associated
with the natural cycles and climate change.
Calculations of water economy balances for water economy areas, sub-basins and river basin,
estimations of possible adverse impact of waters, efficiency calculations for different sets of
English summary of SKIOVO by BASE Russian Partner ‘Ecology and Business’
water economy measures and other calculations are made with the use of computer
mathematical models, which provide an opportunity to simulate: hydrological processes of
river flow formation; functioning of water economy systems; changing of qualitative and
quantitative characteristics of water bodies state; floods etc. Simulations can be made for
different scenarios of changes in hydrometeorological and water economy conditions.
Assessment of the way how the state of water bodies affects social and economic environment
eithin the catchment area. Identification of water factors, increasing social tension and
restricting economic development (decrease in quality of living, increase of morbidity, lack of
drinking and public water supplies, lack of water resources for the development of the main
industries etc.)
Results of assessments, calculations and analysis serve as a basis for identification and
definition of current and perspective problems of water body state (including problems of
information, technological, management and institutional character).
Then the problems identified are clustered and described with all quantitative parameters and
reasons of occurrence:
- ecological problems of water bodies;
- water delivery problems in:
o municipal (drinking and public) water delivery;
o agricultural production;
o industry and energy;
o transport;
- adverse impact of waters:
o floods;
o marginal erosion;
o aggressive impact of surface and subsurface waters on facilities;
- organization and management (informational, technological, analytical, regulatory,
institutional problems).
Results of researches made during Step 2 are compiled into “State and key problems of the
river basin area” volume.
Step 3
Identification of: main goals for implementation of water economy and water protection
measures, actions on prevention of adverse impact of waters, aiming at solving of key
problems; assessment of goal achievement during the period of Scheme implementation;
qualitative targets for each implementation phase.
English summary of SKIOVO by BASE Russian Partner ‘Ecology and Business’
Identification of main goals includes description of targeted state of catchment area, achieved
after key problem solving in the process of Scheme implementation.
Goals:
- are defined for each problem identified;
- are formulated as measurable qualitative indicators, provided for step by step
controllable achievement;
- reflect reality, harmonized with the resources needed for solving of problems identified.
Target indicators include:
- Target indicators for water quality in water bodies within the catchment area;
- Main target indicators for diminution adverse consequences of floods and other adverse
impact of waters.
Main targets for state of water body:

(stabilization of situation, prevention of deterioration of water body state);
- achievement of indicator values corresponding to the natural state of the water body
(for natural water bodies) or to the maximum ecological potential (for significantly
modified or artificial water bodies);
- achievement of interim tergets of water quality with regard to the prospects of socialeconomic territory development and resources available (step-by-step amendment of
water body state).
Outcomes of the third step are compiled into an analytical report “Targeted state of river
basin area, main goals and targeted indicators for the achievement”
Step 4
Variable elaboration of measure programmes aimed at conservation and restoration of water
bodies, ensuring of sustainable functioning of water supply systems within the given catchment
area, which enables step-by-step achievement of targeted indicators identified on the Step 3 of
Scheme development.
Elaboration of several versions of measure programme, reflecting possible (alternative) ways of
achievement of water quality targets and targets for water body state, main targeted indigators
for reduction of adverse impact of waters and other targeted indicators defined on the Step 3.
For each version of measures the following should be defined:
