TASKS AND POSSIBILITIES OF MODERNIZATION IN REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Regional water management is an infrastructural activity so on a social level it does not belong to the category of aim but rather to that of means. The crucially important task is to create water management conditions suitable for the different demands of area use and utilization. As regards the system of conditions, three factors should be taken into account: - natural conditions /resources, - the demands of society and - ecological requirements. Beyond this, these inner relations of water management as well as the effect mecha- nism of the relations between water management and other sectors should be analysed. It is on the basis of this analysis that we should determine the water management require- ments belonging to the different forms of area use, on the one hand, and the technical- economic-organizational form and optimum of operations, on the other.
