BASIN MANAGEMENT BASED ON RESOURCE CONSERVATION

摘要

The most important condition for water protection and water conservation policy is a flexible and appropriate legal base, corresponding to international practice. As was mentioned before, one of the serious shortcomings of national legislations in Central-Asian countries is the lack of, or weakness in, the legal base regarding water conservation. A lack of water policy and water protection and conservation legislation can lead to water demand growth. Taking into account the above permanent legislation, perfection is necessary at the national level, along with coordination of national legislations at the regional level and regional conventions development. For maximum effect in water conservation policy, international cooperation is very important. A good base for this could be the development of the model law 'About water conservation' for all CAR countries.
