The article is devoted to the development of theoretical approaches to the formation and implementation of the strategy of water policy of Ukraine in the context of climate change. As a result of the conducted research, it is proved that because of influence of various external factors there are changes of basic imperatives of functioning of modern systems of management of water resources. The need to consider these changes by improving the strategic documents that define the priorities and principles of national water management policy is substantiated. It is established that one of the main reasons for the lack of water of good quality is its low value compared to other natural resources. This leads to a lack of legal, organizational, and financial and economic grounds for ensuring the payback of water and water-dependent ecosystem services, which is the reason for lack of funds and relevant work to improve and restore environmental and hydro morphological characteristics of reservoirs and repair and modernization of existing hydraulic structures. In this regard, emphasis is placed on the need to improve methods of economic regulation and the development of mechanisms and tools for financial support of sustainable water management. In the context of the above, it is proposed to include in the list of main tasks of the draft Water Strategy of Ukraine two groups of economic levers to increase the financial base of investment support for sustainable water management. The first group is aimed at improving the rent regulation of special use of water resources and provides for raising standards for unauthorized groundwater production, for companies that produce beverages and sell bottled drinking water, as well as limiting various benefits and preferences when paying special water use fees. The second - to change the system of water resources management, the development of institutional and legal support for their use in a globalized market environment, the implementation of modern instruments of financial and economic support for the formation of territorial water resources on a corporate basis.

A sizeable, and sometimes overwhelming, array of knowledge is available and relevant to Sustainable Water Management (SWM). This knowledge derives not only from the natural, social and engineering sciences but also from practical experiences in water management, which is defined broadly to include all forms of water use as well as the protection of water resources and reduction of risk from water‐related hazards. As a publically‐funded water research institute, Eawag (the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology) faces the challenges of integrating and synthesizing available knowledge, creating new knowledge through research projects and making knowledge available in an accessible form to support engineering practice, water resources management and related policy‐making. This chapter examines these challenges from an organizational perspective, discussing measures taken within Eawag to meet them and identifying remaining gaps and possible ways to address them.

Satisfactory Quality

Although the planet is covered by 70% water, poor distribution of this mineral causes some areas of the globe suffer from its lack. Even Brazil being privileged with 13% of freshwater around the planet, it was necessary the creation and implementation of laws for its preservation. This article aims to present the history of Brazilian legislation related to Water Management, since its inception to the current period. According to the bibliography, it is clear that concern for water resources in Brazil was initially for navigation and agriculture. From the year 1934, the Water Code went on to encourage the industrial use of water resources, defining water as a public good, common or private use. Only with the implementation of Law 9,433 / 1997, called the National Water Resources Policy (PNRH) is what happened to give more importance to sustainable water management, with satisfactory quality standards for the various types of use. In 2000 it was created the National Water Agency (Law 9984), which has as main features the disciplinary implementation, operation, control and evaluation of management instruments created by PNRH.

Surface Ice

Rock glaciers and debris covered glaciers are often understudied in comparison to their uncovered glacial counterparts (in which stunning surface ice is clearly visible). However, rock glaciers and debris covered glaciers are more abundant, often cover a larger area, and will continue to supply a water resource once other glaciers have melted. The surface rock and weathered material cover on rock glaciers and debris covered glaciers acts as an insulator to protect internal ice. As a result, they maintain a reservoir of ice that will be released as water as the climate warms. In the Central Andes (31°–35° S), these catchments provide a valuable water source for nearby urban areas such as Santiago, Chile, which supports more than 6 million people. They also provide irrigation water for agriculture, supporting the burgeoning wine industry in Chile. However, rock glacier and debris covered glaciers are often misinterpreted as other landforms, and their water source is unrecognized by many. The objective of this research is to provide a methodology to inventory the extent of debris covered and rock glaciers in a catchment to estimate the amount of water contained within these landforms using GIS and remotely sensed data. This methodology could be used to better assess and sustainably manage the water resources in the Dry Andes in general and in the Aconcagua Basin in particular
