The Russian federation has one of the world's largest water sector, which includes more than 30 thousand water reservoirs and ponds totaling over 800 cubic kilometers and a useful volume of 342 cubic km.

In this case, more than 30 million Russians have no access to centralized water supply systems. Today, every third inhabitant of Russia is forced to use for drinking water that does not meet sanitary requirements. More than half the waste water does not meet the requirements.
