The article presents the results of a study of hazardous hydrological phenomena on the example of floods in the transboundary basin of the Selenga River. Based on the analysis of long-term observations of water levels, hazard indicators are identified. This allows to calculate a number of risk indicators. In terms of specific indicators, an integrated risk map has been developed. An assessment of the total economic risk from floods is given, and recommendations for their reduction are proposed.
