Basin approach to evaluation of human impact on the environment in oil production regions

Authors: O.P. Yermolaev, B.M. Usmanov (Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, RF, Kazan), O.E. Mishanina, E.V. Khisamutdinova (TatNIPIneft, RF, Bugulma)

Key words: basin approach, human impact, integral assessment, 3D analysis, geo-information systems, environment, use of natural resources.

The article demonstrates efficiency of basin approach to environmental area assessment based on Tatneft’s experience. Basin approach when used in combination with 3D geo-information analysis techniques enables to evaluate human impact on the environment, extent of landscape disturbance as well as impact of particular industries.
