Аннотация:Data on annual runoff at 15 gages, reflecting the relatively natural conditions of runoff formationwere used to reveal the present-day features of its space and time variations. Out of these, data from nine gages now in operation were used to carry out full statistical analysis of long-term observation series. In some rivers, the annual runoff was found to have been increasing since 1991. The dependences of the mean long-term water discharges in rivers under natural conditions on their orders determined by A. Scheidegger method were evaluated. By the character of this dependence, Crimean rivers were found to follow the general regularities in such relationships derived for other Russian rivers. In particular, the mean long-term water discharges in Crimean rivers are higher than those calculated by the bottom envelope curve for the relationship between mean long-term water discharges and the orders of different Russian rivers; this allowed it to be used to calculate the least possible value of the mean long-term volumes of annual river runoff in Crimea and, accordingly, the volume of renewable water resources, equal to 371 million m3.
