In the development of a specialized type of natural and technical systems (PTS) "Natural water environ-ment-water Intake technological complex-multi - purpose water supply System" ("P. V. S. - V. T. K.-S. M. V.") of urban households and economic objects on the basis of the results of long-term studies of the existing "V. T. K." in the Lower reaches of the Don river, the methodological basis for assessing the zones of their influ-ence in the considered spatial limits of the basin geosystem has been developed. On the basis of the formulat-ed principles of ecological acceptability of the used constructive and technological solutions on the basis of "V. T. K." quantitative and qualitative criteria environmental indicators of environmental safety, which are manifested in the established boundaries of the zones of influence in the considered region of the basin ge-osystem, have been developed. The main quantitative criteria are: preservation of the diversity of fauna and flora in the water body as a water source, protection of the water treatment system "S. M. V." from blue-green algae and river dreysen . The results of the research are implemented in the Alexander "V. T. K." urban farms of Rostov-on-don, Aksai and Bataysk .

Irrigation has contributed significantly to poverty alleviation and food security; however, the sustainability of irrigated agriculture is being questioned both economically and environmentally. Agriculture is the economic sector where most water is consumed, but the lowest price is practised. This article presents an interdisciplinary approach to selecting and prioritizing infrastructure, by differentiating water sources for irrigation, in the case of two complex irrigation systems. Comparative analysis was undertaken for major hydrological, hydraulic, hydrotechnical and economic parameters in order to estimate a long-term water supply for irrigation. In the case of complex irrigation water supply systems, differentiating the ‘subsystems’ per water source and allowing their separate development require less investment and give a better chance for the project implementation. The average calculated investments in basic irrigation infrastructure were in a wide range, from EUR3327 to 10,103 ha−1, depending on anticipated water source (impoundments, groundwater and rivers). Economic water price also varied widely, EUR0.09–0.30 m−3, depending on the water source for irrigation.

Abstract. This study develops hydrodynamic and water quality models for long-term prediction of E. coli concentrations at the raw water intake point of lake Brusdalsvatnet in Norway. The study is based on previously observed concentrations of E. coli in the tributaries of the lake and local projections of precipitation and air temperature in the region. The results indicate a gradual rise in the temperature of water at the intake point from the base year (2017) through to year 2075. Shorter spring circulation and longer autumn circulation periods are expected in the lake in future. Concentrations of E. coli at the intake point of the lake are expected to marginally increase in future. By the year 2075, the models predict a 3 fold and 2 fold increase in E. coli concentrations respectively for the spring and autumn seasons compared to current levels. The results is expected to provide the water supply system managers of Ålesund with the information necessary for long term planning and decisions in the protection of the drinking water source. The method used here can also be applied to similar water supply systems for developing effective risk management strategies for recent and future scenarios.

The paper analyses the long-term international and domestic experience in the development and implementation of indicators and indices of sustainable development of regions, the quality of the urban environment and environmental safety. At present, there is no any commonly recognized integral environmental indicator. In Russia, indicators and indexes are developed mainly for regions, and to a lesser extent, for cities and urban districts. Widely used environmental indicators are insufficient and they do not cover the geoenvironmental indicators that are part of them and that are necessary for the comprehensive assessment of urban area safety. The conceptual approach to the evaluation of environmental hazards is presented. The development of the geoenvironmental safety index is complicated to a certain extent by the current lack of open-access information in the state statistics necessary for the calculation.

SummaryBackground: Compression stockings are widely used in patients with varicose veins. Methods: Based on published literature three main points are discussed: 1. the rationale of compression therapy in primary varicose veins, 2. the prescription of compression stockings in daily practice, 3. studies required in the future. Results: The main objective of prescribing compression stockings for patients with varicose veins is to improve subjective leg complaints and to prevent swelling after sitting and standing. No convincing data are available concerning prevention of progression or of complications. In daily practice varicose veins are the most common indication to prescribe compression stockings. The compliance depends on the severity of the disorder and is rather poor in less severe stages. Long-term studies are needed to proof the cost-effectiveness of compression stockings concerning subjective symptoms and objective signs of varicose veins adjusted to their clinical severity. Conclusion: Compression stockings in primary varicose veins are able to improve leg complaints and to prevent swelling.

Abstract Tourist services represent a category of services in which the inseparability of production and consumption, the inability to be storable, the immateriality, and last but not least non-durability, induces in tourism management a number of peculiarities and difficulties. Under these circumstances the development of medium-term strategies involves long-term studies regarding on the one hand the developments and characteristics of the demand, and on the other hand the tourist potential analysis at regional and local level. Although in the past 20 years there has been tremendous growth of on-line booking made by household users, the tour operators agencies as well as those with sales activity continue to offer the specific services for a large number of tourists, that number, in the case of domestic tourism, increased by 1.6 times in case of the tour operators and by 4.44 times in case of the agencies with sales activity. At the same time, there have been changes in the preferences of tourists regarding their holiday destinations in Romania. Started on these considerations, paper based on a logistic model, examines the evolution of the probabilities and scores corresponding to the way the Romanian tourists spend their holidays on the types of tourism agencies, actions and tourist areas in Romania.

The article presents an overview of the mass development of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in the don river of the Rostov region, which leads to the phenomenon, received in the literature the name of harmful “flowering” of water. The harmfulness of the mass development of cyanobacteria is changes in organoleptic characteristics of drinking water, which lead to the production of a large number of dangerous to human health and animal toxins, to reduce water quality, violation of the aesthetic appearance of the reservoir, the loss of useful human properties of the aquatic ecosystem and are factors of epidemic safety of public health. Experimental studies of the properties of cyanobacteria and toxins produced by blue-green algae are pre-sented. The first studies were carried out at the pilot plant on the technology of purification of flowering don water to ensure environmental safety of drinking water and public health.
