What measures do border countries take to save the river to connect them? This was discussed at the Russian-China forum meeting, held at Khabarovsk.
Amur is a popular river for Russia and China, it connects countries nearly 3.5 thousand kilometers. Therefore, each state is interested in ensuring that the neighbor belongs to the river carefully – Amur provides drinking water with 70 % of the population of the areas adjacent to it, acting as an indispensable resource to use agriculture and support infrastructure of cities and businesses.
It provides residents of underwater biological resources – in terms of fish's species, it occupies the first position between the Russian rivers and has the importance of high fishing. The species of Amur owes their geographical position. In addition, in the process of urbanization, he received more than a dozen species, the universe of Muslims such as Pike Pich, Black Amur, A Lap Fish. Only in the Russian part of the Amur basin, recent decades of river resources have changed from 15 to 70 thousand tons. It is clear that the quality and number of fishing depends on the level of proficiency that neighbors use resources.
– For international cooperation with Chinese colleagues, there is a development strategy of a fisheries complex until 2030. There are cooperation agreements in the fisheries, regulating, resuming and exploiting resources, to prevent and eliminate illegal fishing, illegal fishing, illegal fishing,
Currently, Chinese relationships have reached the highest level, which shows their importance and importance to both sides. Chinese colleagues have visited Russian fish farms, now, the Russian delegation will go to the fish farm factory in Prc to recreate Keta. In addition, the Chinese side expressed his willingness to participate in special conferences and reforms were planned to be implemented in their country.
Among the plus points – the neighbors are now less and less electric shock or explosion, switching to conscious fishing. The work can also be seen to ensure the law and order in the border waters.

– Pay special attention to environmental safety in general. We must take measures to protect and eliminate pollution sources in different parts of the river, against the overflow and forest fire. They put serious danger to Amur – this was confirmed by many years of research, he said the Director of North Asia Research Center for sustainable development of the Institute of Geography and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Dun Xocenn.
The Chinese side affirmed – need not to forget the useful environmental principles: to reduce consumption, processing and reuse resources. This will affect the status of our common river.
– The specific nature of the Amur river basin creates issues related to water quality, but mainly with floods. This requires warning actions from us. Meetings and meetings are held annually, there is a search for measures. Countries support each other to use new technologies to properly operate the water, models and flood predictions, exchange information about events that can lead to floods, Mr. Andrei Makarov, head of Amur Water Administration on Water Resources.
Floods are agitated by rains, river fluctuations due to the nature of the mountains, and of course, the human element cannot be excluded. As part of the Russian-China Commission, a new working group to prevent floods has been created. For an integrated approach, it is necessary to monitor. Both countries are interested in exchanging hydrological data.
– The interaction is organized under the agreement between the Government of the nations on the use and protection of the crosswater reasonably since 2008. The program transforms the operation of hydrological information on indicators such as water level, cost, rainfall, ice phenomenon. They are measured annually from April 1 to November 30 to 16 to 16 river columns and two articles of Hanka. And when the water level reached dangerous values- in addition to 13 hydrological columns, he explained the head of the Roshydromet operating for the Far Easta Mishkeleev Federal District.
The interaction of Russia and China is made when monitoring the quality of crosswater. Specifically, Argun, Amur, USSURI and Hanka lake are tested. Test shows that the quality of water objects remains stable. As part of the committee's work, the annual technical conferences are held and seminars of experts from the two countries in the support of methods and laboratories of Russia's Russian water quality monitoring.
– In the past centuries, a significant change of the natural environment occurred in the Amur river basin due to the direct or indirect effect of humans has led to great losses, reduction and fragmentation of the area of plants, animals and formation of indigenous plants. In fact, nature conservation is reduced to protect at the level of species populations and ecosystems that are ready in specially protected natural territories (protected areas).
In the Russian part of the Amur river basin, 55 reserves depend on the area accounting for more than 5.5 million hectares. Natural park combines environmental tourism, entertainment activities with nature protection. Along Amur in Russia, there are 283 natural monuments, most of them have landscape values, but also have the purpose of protecting plant or animal objects.
– The most important thing in the system of protected areas is to understand that throughout the Amur river basin, including USSURI, Hanka and to Transbaikalia, except for parts of economic use, areas without artificial press. Therefore, we want to sync with Chinese colleagues to monitor changes in the plant and animal world to understand which species they feel safe, and what will help.
