Reservoirs of the Volga‐Kama cascade, one of the largest cascades in the world, are described, with special attention to environmental problems. Measures for the improvement of the ecological situation in the river basin are analysed. A concept of water area regionalization, planning and engineering organization of water‐bodies, previously advanced as the basic principle of rational development of natural water resources, is presented.
