Water!..You are not Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944)
simply important for life,
you are Life.
Water is a source of a life.
Stocks of water in the world are huge, as Russia which is very
rich with water resources.
Russia has thousands of rivers and inland bodies of water, providing it with one of the
world's largest surface water resources. The most prominent of Russia's bodies of fresh
water is Lake Baikal, the world's deepest, purest and most capacious freshwater lake.
Lake Baikal alone contains over one fifth of the world's fresh surface water.
Of its 100,000 rivers, The Volga is the most famous—not only because it is the longest
river in Europe but also because of its major role in Russian history.
Major lakes include Lake Baikal, Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega. Water is 13% of Russian
territory. In Kurgan there are almost 400 rivers and about 3000 lakes.
