The article deals with the issues of increasing the forest resources use extent on the forested areas of reservoirs’ flooded territories of hydroelectric power stations (HPPs) – both projected and under construction- in multi-forest areas of the Russian Federation. The necessity of forest clear cutting and forest clearing carrying out on flooded territories and the importance of these measures for ensuring favorable environmental conditions in the area of hydro construction and in the water area of reservoirs are substantiated. The estimation of the wood volume cut in the process of reservoirs creation is presented and the reasons for leaving wood to be flooded are considered. The factors and circumstances that affect the indicators of economic efficiency of forest clear cutting are described. A comparative assessment of the applied technologies of forest clear cutting is made, ways to increase its profitability are outlined, and the impact of profitability on decision making on leaving wood to be flooded in the process of reservoirs’ territory preparation is estimated.
