At the global level, it appears that acceptance for integrated water resources management (IWRM) has been growing. In a status report by the United Nations in 2012, 82% of the 134 nations which responded indicated that they had embarked on reforms to achieve integrated approaches to water resources management. Over the last decade in the Caribbean there have been similar IWRM agendas. However, so far efforts to embed IWRM in the region have yielded few results. Hence it is appropriate to ask what has been the progress with adopting an integrated approach to water management in the Caribbean and are there lessons that can be learnt? The paper seeks to provide some answers to those two questions. An overview of the various national and regional IWRM initiatives over the last decade provides the basis on which the evaluation of the successes or otherwise is made. This is complemented by an assessment of the enabling conditions and the extent to which they have been able to support developments. The analysis of contributing factors uses a stakeholder characterisation typology developed by Mitchell and Agle. Finally, the need for ‘brokering’ actors as an integral part of policy reform is identified as a necessary element of success.

The article studies the notion of the river basin principle of water resources management, its meaning, its legal definition in the EU directives, the particular aspects of its implementation in Ukraine, and its overall importance in terms of water quality and management of water resources, including the marine environment. It is determined that the river basin principle of water resources management is one of the key matters of the EU environmental policy and is a topical issue for Ukraine in the process of European integration. Essentially, the river basin principle of water resources management is defined as integrated management within a river basin district. It is concluded that this principle is one of the main components of integrated management of water resources and is, in fact, the basis of the integrated approach to such management.

This review article aims to increase our understanding in the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of implementing the basin approach for water resources management in Ukraine. To this end, this article implements that SWOT analysis for discussing the transition from the administrative approach towards the basin approach. The SWOT analysis consists of the four main aspects: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Strengths and Weakness include strong and weak points of implementing the basin approach, respectively. Opportunities are windows for implementing actions to facilitate the basin approach and increase the effectiveness of this approach. Threats include risks for implementing the basin approach. In order to better understand opportunities, the main drivers and causes of water pollution are also discussed in the article. Results of the review show that climate change affects the availability of water resources strongly. Human activities namely the poultry production are important polluters of water resources. The article summarizes the correct water resources management approaches and proposes four main strategies for implementing the basin approach within the SWOT analysis. The first strategy deals with the successful transition from the administrative management towards the basin management of water resources. The second strategy deals with an increase in the access of the public to the water resources information including water quality. The third strategy deals with integrating the European Union water-related directives in the national environmental policies. The fourth strategy deals with reducing pollution levels in water systems through improved technologies. Next steps are to develop an integrated approach to account for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the four strategies. It is important to develop water indicators to facilitate an integrated assessment of water resources for different water uses while accounting for water quality. Future research can focus on future scenarios to project water quality under global change and to assess effects of the national policies on reducing future water pollution from urbanization and agricultural sectors.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) plays an important role in the framework of the efforts aiming at the formulation of a complete water resources management. In our paper this issue is examined in an integrated way. The following issues are particularly examined : the notion of the EIA in general, the assessment methods and techniques on the basis of the suitability of their use, the economic aspects, the Greek legislative framework, case-law positions in general as well as the action and the steering pattern of the Greek Public Administration concerning this issue. This paper presents some conclusions and proposals which are drawn by the aforementioned integrated approach.

Among the existing state cadastres, an important place belongs to the water, which is the basis of state management of the water fund. According to the Water Code of Ukraine, the water fund includes all water bodies, provides for the systematic determination of reserves and quality of water resources in a particular area.Water quality is affected by a large number of factors, including location, water body category, water intake area, water mirror area, water volume, river network type, terrain parameters and properties, hydrological conditions. No less important is the influence of anthropogenic factors, which is correlated with the degree of development of the territory, land structure, population and settlements, man-made load and so on. The purpose of the work is to analyze the state of watercourses in the Syan river sub-basin and to establish the main factors that affect water quality. The quality of water resources has a great impact on public health, so a careful analysis of the state of natural water sources is one of the important components of the cadastre of water resources. Method. During the research we worked with information provided by the Lviv Hydrometeorological Service, Lviv egional Department of Water Management, research laboratories engaged in monitoring and analysis of water resources of Lviv region for the last ten years, data from the environmental passport of Lviv region for 2020. During processing of results used a combination of methods of system and structural analysis, analytical comparison, mathematical formalization, cartographic materials, which provided the ability to solve problems and achieve the goal and the reliability of conclusions [Sovhira S. V. et al., 2016]. Results. It is established that the water quality in watercourses flowing through the territory that does not carry a man-made load depends mainly on natural factors, namely: territorial location, climatic conditions, relief, hydrogeological and geomorphological conditions, etc. Due to climate change, various natural phenomena and problems with flooding are increasingly occurring, which negatively affect water resources and quality. Floods occur for various reasons and, in recent years, are characteristic of the Syan river sub-basin, especially in mountainous areas. For the territory characterized by high economic development, the water quality of rivers depends: on mining activities; soil pollution; creation and operation of artificial reservoirs; economic activity within the floodplainchannel complexes; dredging and channel-directing works; deforestation and intensive economic activity at watersheds, which is clearly confirmed by the state of water in the Shklo river and its tributaries Gnoyanets, Tereshka, etc. Data on the state of watercourses in the Syan river sub-basin were collected, systematized and analyzed using and adhering to the main provisions of the integrated approach to water resources management according to the basin principle. Scientific novelty and practical significance. It is proposed to use an integrated approach to create water resources management plans based on the basin principle on the example of the Syan river sub-basin. This approach will allow to identify all sources of influence, their nature, relationship and interaction and to fill with official, relevant data geoportal “State Water Cadastre” on the website of the State Water Agency.

This article discusses the evolution of water resources management and policies since the early 1990s. Changes are due, in particular, to two international conferences both held in 1992 (Rio and Dublin), which laid the groundwork for an integrated approach to water management. Reformers concentrated on creating a coherent policy that would take into account environmental concerns. This paper focuses on the World Bank as one of the most important actors in the formulation and financing of water policies. Indeed, the World Bank has developed, as a result of these conferences, a new policy that regroups different water projects into one single concept: water resources management. It turns out, however, that water resources management in essence just means water privatization.
