evidence: The Republic of Tuva is the youngest subject of the Russian Federation, which became part of the country in 1944. It is part of the Siberian Federal district, in the South and South – East it borders with the Mongolian people's Republic, in the North-East-Irkutsk region, in the North – West-the Republic of Khakassia, in the East – the Republic of Buryatia, in the West – the Republic of Altai, in the North – Krasnoyarsk region (Figure 1). The length of the territory from North to South is 420km, from West to East – 630km. In the course of our work, we used comparative geographical, analytical and geoinformation methods and the method of an integrated approach, which showed that Tuva is attractive and rich in water resources. All rivers and lakes within the Republic of Tyva belong to the upper part of the Yenisei basin and a much smaller part – to the basins of the drainage basins of Central Asia with lakes Ubsa-Nur, Ureg-Nur and Achit-Nur (Figure 2). In the extreme South-East, it includes a small section of the Selenga river basin, which flows into lake Baikal. The largest of the rivers reach the small lake, after leaving the mountains on the foothill plains, disappear in the loose soil, spending their reserves on filtration and evaporation.1,2 [...] Tuva district is located in the mountain forest zone of the Republic; these include: the Small and Large Yenisei, Khemchik (without a section of its lower course) and other watercourses.
