Abstract: Geographical position and climatic conditions of the Soviet Union are such, that during winter months waterways of the country get icebound and this stops the navigation nearly on all waterways, though inland water transport plays an important role in the economics of separate parts and regions of the country. That is why the prolongation of the terms of navigation on separate river sections and water reservoirs is very significant for the economy not only on account of transportation costs but also because of its great influence on the development of the national economy in a number of regions having no other developed means of communication as yet. Among these regions, there are Northern Siberian regions and some regions of the European parts of the country.
