Prior to the last decade, federal water-project construction programs dominated water policy. These programs continue, but at a reduced level of funding, and the nation now is denning a new agenda of water resources issues to include water quality management and water allocation. Economists engaged in studies of water resources policy, and who seek to influence the direction of policy through research, teaching, and extension will find these exciting times.

The new National water policy will change the way water quality is managed in South Africa. The paper considers the water policy and the repercussions it will have for water quality management in South Africa and proposes a system that can be used to come up with optimum solutions for water quality management. The proposed solution integrates policy and institutional arrangements with the Cadastral system for point and non point sources of pollution and optimisation tools to ensure optimal management of water quality at any given time. The water quality management functions catered for by the proposed system are: resource allocation for pollution discharge, water quality protection, water quality monitoring, planning, development and operation.

The Game Theory

In this study, aspects of Game theory and its application on water resources management combined with GIS techniques are detailed. First, each term is explained and the advantages and limitations of its aspect is discussed. Then, the nature of combinations between each pair and literature on the previous studies are given. Several cases were investigated and results were magnified in order to conclude with the applicability and combination of GIS- Game Theory- Water Resources Management. It is concluded that the game theory is used relatively in limited studies of water management fields such as cost/benefit allocation among users, water allocation among trans-boundary users in water resources, water quality management, groundwater management, analysis of water policies, fair allocation of water resources development cost and some other narrow fields. Also, Decision-making in environmental projects requires consideration of trade-offs between socio-political, environmental, and economic impacts and is often complicated by various stakeholder views. Most of the literature on water allocation and conflict problems uses traditional optimization models to identify the most efficient scheme while the Game Theory, as an optimization method, combined GIS are beneficial platforms for agent based models to be used in solving Water Resources Management problems in the further studies.

Water Uses

Surface and ground waters are one of the basic resources; they are an important constituents of the environment and serve to satisfy economic and other needs of the society. The purpose of the actually prepared modification of the Czech Water Act (Law No. 1381973) discussed in this paper is (1) to protect water in a comprehensive and flexible manner, considering its irreplaceability and society-wide significance, (2) to regulate its withdrawals and other treatment in a planned manner in order to maintain a balance between the demand for water and the capacity of water resources, (3) to care for its purity and economic utilisation, (4) to protect against floods, and at the same time, to respect the conservation of nature and ecosystem protection, and (5) to provide for recreation, shipping and other important water uses which are of interest to the society. The paper is presented to serve as a basis for the planned comparisons of the legislational state-of-the-art in the USA and Czech Republic.
