The paper emphasized the necessity of measures on struggle with swamping of agricultural and forest lands of the Western-Siberian Plain via cleaning of the hydrographic network close to bogs. This will provide timely discharge of excessive waters from wetlands, and will decrease the subsoil waters level. Advantages of this approach in comparison with the traditional drainage methods have been shown as well. To substantiate the proposed approach the original hydrological assessment of the swamping causes is being presented.
