Historical
river
development of
In November 1997, agreements were
signed in 1991 and 1994 between Russia
and China.
Disputes about borders have
largely been eliminated
but the two governments
continued disagreeing for 50
more years over islands
near Khabarovsk.
Measures have regularly been
discussed since 1994, with
agreements between 1994 and 1999.
The last border agreement, signed in
December 1999, settled the dispute
which called for the development of the
Amur River region.
Ports along the Amur river have since been
to trade for shipping
companies of both countries.

Khabarovsk bridge
The Khabarovsk
Bridge was a
railway bridge
that carried the Trans-Siberian Railway across
the Amur River near Khabarovsk, Russia.
It was the longest bridge in
Soviet Union and Asia for decades.
However, a year after construction
began on July 30, 1913
the First World War broke out
The bridge was finally completed on
October 5, 1916.
Environmental Issues
Floods
More than 20,000 people evacuated
from flood-stricken areas in Russia's far
east where the Amur river burst its
banks after heavy rain.
The army and emergency workers set
up temporary shelters across three
regions, providing
life necessities.
The Amur and Khabarovsk regions are worst affected.
Both the Amur river and a major
tributary, the Zeya, have flooded huge
areas in what is said to be the region's
worst flooding in 120 years.
The damage so far
has reached
$91m.
Experts suggest the
flooding will worsen for the
next few days and the
weather forecast promises
more rain. The flood waters
are expected not to fully
recede until September.
BENEFITS
The reason why Oyashio provides us of rich
fish resources is that this current contains large
amount of nutrients indispensable for
phytoplankton growth, which is fundamental
of marine ecosystem.
Problems?
Since 1896, floods have been burdening the
residents living near Amur river. Recently, the Amur
river flood surpassed the 1984 height record with
43.37 metres and also affected some 170000 people.
