Some negative processes that occur at the territory between the ob and the Tom were revealed. The indices of the degradation of environment are lowering level of ground stagnant water, changes of the water schedule of soil and withering of shallow-lying peat swamp, changes of the plant cover and productivity of tree stand. Indication of environmental distortions on the basis of the state of forest and bog ecosystems revealed a chronological and territorial connection with the start of operation of the Tomsk water intake and the formation of the cone of depression in the horizon of underground water. The most strongly transformed landscapes are those semi-and hydromorphic ones along the first succession of water intake. The landscapes along the second and the third successions of water intake are less transformed.
