Possible changes in the average annual maximum snow reserves and flood runoff in European Russia (ER), on the basis of global climate modelling data was estimated. The data on precipitation and temperature from 5 AOGCMs (atmospheric and ocean general circulation models) of the CMIP5 project, based on the best reproduction of the current climate were used. The multidirectional changes in the maximum snow reserves and flood runoff are expected in ER, although there is a tendency in the southern territories towards a decrease in these characteristics; this intensifies near the end of the 21st Century and when using data from the ‘hard’ scenario of greenhouse gas emissions.
