ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ISSUES AND THE SOUTHWARD DIVERSION OF SIBERIAN RIVERS

The author reviews the disputed question of an acceptable intercontinental boundary between Europe and Asia and proposes his own two versions: a preferred alternative following political-administrative borders within the USSR and a second alternative along established physical boundaries. He urges that “authoritative organs” hand down a final decision to be submitted for general acceptance at the 20th International Geographical Congress in 1964.
