Description
Summary:	The article considers hydrological hazards and risks, the dynamics of which are connected to climate change and anthropogenic influence on water bodies and their watershed areas. The hydrological consequences of climate change in Western Siberia are characterized by a high level of spatial and temporal heterogeneity and wide diversity. The authors determine the most dangerous hydrological phenomena with potentially high-risk levels, the causes of such dynamics and characteristic spreading areas. They reach the conclusion that both likelihood and scale of negative effects of certain hydrological phenomena and processes increase with the development of climate change and increase of anthropogenic influences.
