Summary. The monograph is devoted to the complex analysis of water objects’ technological transformation and degradation processes. These issues are dealt with by authors impartially and multidimensionally. In contrast to other studies of the subject, authors do not stop at simple description of the observed processes. Their main goal is to search for opportunities to prevent adverse events. Various examples of fresh and marine water objects technogenesis show that the only real way to solve the problem is to develop methods for managing these processes.
