Abstract
Integrated water resource management is a process that promotes the comprehensive development and management of water, land and other resources to maximize economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. The water management system still requires improvement and further development. In particular, various usage conditions for the same water body in different Russian regions give rise to social conflicts and escalation of negative public sentiment. Moreover different Russian regions may establish various sanctions for same offense for the same water object, for example, violation of the human life protection rules on water or the rules for the use of small boats equipped with motors. Currently, basin agreements are concluded only for inter-regional water objects, i.e. catchment area, which is located within several subjects of the Russian Federation, it does not take into account the cross-border nature of the water objects, located in the territory of one subject of the Russian Federation, but covers the boundaries of several administrative areas.
