Tóm tắt

Characteristic properties of melt water are formed in course of transformation of its molecular structure in the process of its natural crystallization and subsequent thawing of ice. Melt water is a natural cryogenic resource, which plays a crucial role in the life on the Earth and in the global water resource management. Side by side with technological progress and growth (increase) of the world population, the importance/value (significance) of melt water will grow (be enhanced).
