Volga River??

Question

has the volga river ever flooded? and what are some concerns people have about the river?

Answer 1

Yes, the river has flooded.  It is used for power production, irrigation, flood control, and transportation.

The Volga drains most of Western Russia. Its many large reservoirs provide irrigation and hydroelectric power. The Moscow Canal, the Volga-Don Canal, and the Volga-Baltic Waterway form navigable waterways connecting Moscow to the White Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. High levels of chemical pollution currently give cause for environmental concern.
