Amga district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) annually faces floods caused by spring snow melting and summer showers. These natural phenomena pose a serious threat to the population, infrastructure and agriculture. The article considers the hydrological features of the region, the degree of threat to residential areas and existing methods of protection.
