The large number of people living together in urban areas requires a comprehensive solutions for issues such as the reasonable allocation and adequate use of natural resources, urban planning, and efficient waste management to meet the city's needs.  One of the main factors influencing the health and comfort of urban residents is the supply of clean water and sewerage systems. Therefore, in order to rationally allocate and use water resources to meet urban needs, and to create a healthy and comfortable living environment for city residents, it is necessary to develop an integrated water resources management plan at the national and basin levels, as well as an integrated water management plan and assessment for city level. In addition to assessing the current state of water management, it is important to identify factors and trends that may further strain water resources to prevent future risks. To address the pressures on water management in Ulaanbaatar and Darkhan, representing Mongolia's urban areas, the City Blueprint Approach, developed by the EU Water   Innovation Partnership and the Dutch Institute of Water Cycle, was used in this study. Currently, this approach is used in about 80 cities in more than 40 countries, it is a relatively new and innovative method among Asian cities. As a result, water management in Ulaanbaatar and Darkhan is hampered by both social, economic, and environmental factors.

Based on the analysis of the current state of water resources and utilization characters, the optimizing and allocating model of water resources in Yinchuan plain is established by multi-objective planning methodology. Systematic viewpoint runs throughout the whole modeling process. Furthermore, by employing the established model, the proper allocation of the industrial and agricultural water, the ecological environment water and integrated development of surface water and groundwater are discussed. The more reasonable water utilization structure is suggested. The water resource for agriculture is decreasing, while the water resource for people life, industry and ecologic environment are increasing. This change of water utilization is correspond to economic and social development trend.

The article analyzes the current state of water resources and their use, taking into account significant interannual fluctuations in river flow within the steppe zone. The spatial and temporal specifics of the water resources of the transboundary basins of the river Ural and Irtysh are considered within the Russian-Kazakhstan region. The necessity of developing interstate programs for integrated water resources management in the Russian-Kazakhstan transboundary region, developed on the basis of the basin approach, is noted.

The article is devoted to the grouping and brief classification of natural and artificial water bodies located on the territory of Azerbaijan, in order to organize their protection. Brief and systematized information is given on the main characteristics of rivers, lakes and reservoirs that are part of the group of surface watercourses and point water bodies, as well as on water resources. Systematized information can make it possible to take appropriate measures to organize the protection of water bodies, prepare regulatory documents and more efficient and economical use of water resources.

Results of the comprehensive water/resources and ecological researchers of the OB-Irtysh basin current state are given. Assessment of the many-year dynamics of the main indicators characterizing the Ob River ecological status has been made. The data are quoted on the basis of the analysis of materials of many-year hydrological, hydro/chemical, ecological and water/economic researchers of Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch Institute of Water and Ecological Problems. The main problems of water supply and water use special for this basin have been revealed: non-uniformity of water resources distribution, hazardous hydrological phenomena (inundation, flooding, and channel processes), as well as water pollution (of human and natural origin). The situation is aggravated by the Ob-Irtysh basin transboundary status. The anthropogenic transformation of the region has been estimated: its index is the highest in the steppe and Southern forest/steppe areas of the Ob-Urtysh basin, while it is much lower in the Northern part of the basin; in mountain areas of Altay, Salair and Kuznetsk Alatau anthropogenic transformation is not high, and in the regions of Transuralia and Kuznetsk depression the territories of environmental problems have been identified. Non-synchronism of water content changes many-year trends for different parts of the basin has been revealed. Over the past decades volumes of water use and water disposal somewhat decreased in respect of the whole basin. Bearing in mind the level of groundwater and surface water resources availability, 15% of the total population of the Ob-Irtysh basin live in the conditions of extremely low and very low potential water supply. New data obtained as a result of comprehensive expedition water/ecological researches in 2016 with the use of research fleet are quoted.

Abstract In this article we analysed the characteristics of water use in the border areas of Russia and Mongolia. Data on water use in these border areas are presented. The features of ecological and economic situation from water use were considered, which show how water resources are underestimated.
