The relevance of the study, due to the water difficult environmental situation increasing in the transboundary river basin (TRB) of Irtysh is related to the failure to address the issues of coordinated water use in the certain national segments: the Irtysh basin and its large left tributaries, the rivers Ishim and Tobol within the borders of Kazakhstan, China and Russia. The purpose of the study is to assess current processes of the water management system in the TRB formation and functioning, to identify current and potential problems of water use and to find ways to eliminate neutralize and prevent them in the future. The leading methods of research are system-dialectical, which provides for the water management systems study of the basin in question at the stage of formation, functioning and future development; as well as a comparative geographic method aimed at identifying and analyzing individual water management systems of the Irtysh TRB. Results of the study: The main water management problems in the Irtysh TBD were identified, their evaluation was determined and the their manifestation features in each of the identified national natural and economic subsystems were determined, the directions of their coordinated decision by all basin countries based on the methodology of strategic management adopted and widely implemented by the international scientific community. The significance of the study showed the severity of water management problems and the asymmetry of their solutions in different national segments of the Irtysh TRB, mainly due to incompleteness of the institutional environment for water resources management and inconsistency of the countries interests within its borders.

The permanently flooded, and the dry seeded and afterwards permanently flooded treatments produced higher grain yield than intermittent flooding treatments at all nitrogen levels. Rice responded up to 125 kg N/ha irrespective of the water management system. Recovery of applied nitrogen was higher when permanently flooded. The largest proportion of extracted nitrogen occurred in the stems and the lowest in the roots. Flowering was delayed 12 days in the intermittent flooding system at all nitrogen levels as compared to the other two irrigation management systems.

Improving water management in rural towns such as Wagin, Western Australia, will decrease infrastructure damage caused by water and salinity and produce a ‘new water’ resource. The aim of this paper is to predict feedlot water demand using a bioeconomic model, H20Sheep, to determine if using such a ‘new water’ resource could be a viable option for this production system. Wagin (–33.3075 S, 117.3403 E), a township south-east of Perth, was chosen as the specific location for a sheep feedlot producing prime lambs. In this paper, the H20Sheep model was used to show how feedlot returns are influenced by the price of water, different feeding regimens and climate change. This was done by integrating feed and water intake of lambs, general feedlot water use and waste disposal. To show relative sensitivity of changing other model parameters that are not directly connected with water, changes in the purchase and sale price of lambs were also investigated. As might be expected, H20Sheep shows that returns from a sheep feedlot enterprise can be extremely sensitive to changes in lamb purchase (just over 7% increase will result in negative returns) and sale prices (a 4% decrease will generate a negative outcome). With respect to water, the findings indicate that, while increases in water use in the feedlot and price have to be greater than the increase in relative price of sheep, monitoring the biological parameters associated with water as well as water prices is still important both from a management and an economic perspective. Hence, if towns involved in the Rural Towns – Liquid Assets project, such as Wagin, decide to sell their water, the relevant policy makers should ensure that the sale price enables an effective water management system for the town and is also attractive to end-users such as feedlots.

In this paper the results of a preliminary study that investigates water footprint (WF) concept, as a useful tool to address water management problems in cultivated areas are presented. The two basic methodologies reported in the literature, their applicability, benefits and challenges were previously analyzed and evaluated by Tsoukala et al. (2011). A WF calculation for the crops of Messara valley in Crete is presented, so as to examine its contribution to achieving effective agricultural policies. Messara is one of the most important agricultural regions in Greece that faces serious problems in order to meet crop irrigation demand. The conclusions drawn from this analysis showed that WF can provide a transparent framework for the identification of potentially optimal alternatives for efficient water use at river basin catchment level.

The article focuses on the current topic of public water resources management. Globalization presents new challenges and demands for sustainable development for society. The current problem of modern humanity is the rational use of limited water resources. Water management is closely linked to the harmonization of social, economic and environmental requirements. The domestic water use system cannot meet European requirements for effective water supply due to moral and physical wear. An inadequate regulatory framework reduces the effectiveness of management processes and requires finding ways to attract investment to the industry, including in public-private cooperation. The analysis of the main problems of water management development, including non-compliance with European standards, moral and physical wear, lack of effective systems of water resources planning, monitoring and control of use of water resources, showed that these problems are primarily the result of an imperfect system of public water management. Based on commercialization processes, the water supply system through the implementation of public-private partnership mechanisms, provided that private entities are clearly monitored by public authorities, can produce significant socio-economic and environmental results. The research developed an algorithm for implementing an effective water management system at the state level by developing and implementing public-private partnership projects in accordance with the requirements of an effective water management system. The mathematical model of information and analytical support of processes of monitoring of rational water use in conditions of implementation of public-private partnership projects is defined.

One of the powerful factors behind the transformation of the components of the institutional environment that has evolved dynamically in recent decades is considered to be the environmental constraint, the main reason for which is the exacerbation of global environmental challenges and changes in the world-view of the modern world. In this regard, the study identifies and analyzes the patterns of transformation of conceptual approaches to the formation of a sustainable water supply system under environmental constraints. It is proved that one of the determining external factors that cause such transformation is the increase of environmental awareness of the population at the local, national and world levels. The system of methods of sustainable water supply in the conditions of ecological restrictions is proposed, which provides for complex scientifically grounded application of modern infrastructural, institutional and ecosystem mechanisms of water policy implementation and institutionalization of a number of strategic directions and processes of development of integrated water resources management of Ukraine. It is established that in the field of institutional support for sustainable water use, the evolution of conceptual approaches under the influence of «ecological» philosophy will determine, first and foremost, the improvement of the regulatory system of streamlining relations, its focus on optimizing the use of water resources, their conservation and reproduction. It covers all the main characteristics of the institutional environment, the system of rules and norms of behavior of economic relations, changes in the set of incentives for entrepreneurial activity and in the sphere of coordination of economic, financial and regulatory activities and state planning. Therefore, the strategic directions of transformation of the current water management system in order to ensure their expanded reproduction is the institutionalization of new rules and standards for the economic development of water resources, in particular the specification of ownership rights for water resources and the spread of modern forms of public-private partnership in the field of water use. This will increase the level of investment support for the reproduction of water resources and expand the available financial base for the modernization of water management infrastructure.

Purpose: Worldwide water scarcity is one of the major problems to deal with. Smart Cities also faces this challenging problem due to its ever-increasing population and limited sources of natural water. Additionally, careless usage of water and large water wastage has made the water issues as a serious concern. Today Smart Cities are using advanced technical solutions to deal with various problems, to deal with water shortage problems, Smart Cities uses Smart Water Management System, an intelligent system which distributes and control existing water supply on need basis, and also it facilitates recycling of water for again using for specific activities. In this paper I have provided the overview of Smart Water Management System, its features, and functionalities. I also reviewed available literature on Water Management Systems for Smart Cities and considering the latest tools and technologies and understanding some of the limitations of existing Smart Water Management Systems, I proposed an easy to develop, operate and maintain Smart Water Management Solution called as "iWMS". The proposed conceptual framework of iWMS is modular and is based on secure Blockchain based Application Layer. The iWMS solution supports entire water management and recycling functioning cycle and can easily integrate with other services of Smart Cities. The evaluation of iWMS framework provided very encouraging results. It is revealed that iWMS meets the stated objectives of water savings through automated operation and also through controlled water recycling. Unlike other Smart Water Management Systems, iWMS also carefully complies the cybersecurity requirements. Based on evaluation, the advantages, and limitations of iWMS are also stated in this paper. Finally, I have also specified the future plans about iWMS to undertake its full-fledged implementation and addressing of its limitations. Design/Methodology/Approach: Primary Data collection through Interviews and Questionnaire responses from Industry Professionals, SMEs, and Researchers working on development, operation, and maintenance of Water Management Systems in Smart Cities and secondary data collected through detailed review of existing literature containing Journal Papers, Conference Papers, and Whitepapers available on Water Management Solutions for Smart Cities, are used to derive the new findings and results presented in this research paper. Findings/Result: Smart Water Management System not only efficiently handles water distribution across Smart Cities but also plays an active role in Water Recycling, Water Control and Monitoring, Estimation of the peak water requirements, and detection of water leakage if any. Smart Water Management System is an essential system in Smart Cities and is the backbone behind Smart Water Service of Smart Cities. Originality/Value: The Information presented in this paper is original and genuine and completely based on own data analysis and findings.

Outcomes of the diagnostic analysis of the water use system functioning in the Irtysh River transboundary basin located on the territories of Kazakhstan, China and Russia have been analyzed from the standpoint of strategic governing. Water resources have been assessed; several countries’ role in the Tobol, Ishym, and Irtysh per se basins water situation formation has been outlined. Current issues of water use in the basin’s national segments have been revealed, and prospects and opportunities of their solution proposed in different strategic documents concerning development of the relevant countries and regions have been considered. It has been noted that at present China ”regulates” water runoff in the Irtysh upper reaches and its strategy of the west-northern (bordering to Kazakhstan) territories development stipulates further expansion of the water use up to almost 45% of the runoff formed on its territory. Nowadays Kazakhstan also intends to implement plans of anticipatory growth according to the strategy of development up to 2050. Russian regions in the Irtysh basin are the end water users and now the steppe areas and the city of Omsk experience water resources depletion. Some territories of Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk oblasts located in the Tobol basin are in the stressed water situation, especially acute during the low-water periods. The Ishym basin on the territory of Russia also has lost its water content as a considerable share of its runoff is taken for water supply of the rapidly developing capital of Kazakhstan. The analysis outcomes support the necessity of the agreed institutional frameworks establishment for water use management in different national segment of the international basin.
