Sumario:An assessment of the current use of water resources in the Khanka Lake basin is given. It has been established that in the Russian and Chinese territories of the Khanka Lake basin, the use of water resources is determined by the predominant development of agriculture. On the basis of actual and expertly calculated data, the volumes of water use for the entire period of economic activity in the Russian part of the lake basin have been restored. It has been established that the waters of the lake are the source for irrigation of rice crops in Russia, the use of the waters of Lake Khanka in China is possible only in dry years. From the territory of China, in high-water years, the discharge of flood waters of the Mulinghe River into Lake Malaya Khanka and, from it through the hydraulic structures (HS) into Lake Khanka, can have a significant impact on the increase in the water level in the lake. In accordance with the plans for the development of the agricultural sector of the economy of the Lake Khanka basin, scenarios for the development of water consumption in the Russian territory of the Lake Khanka basin until 2030 are considered.
