  1. WATER RESOURCES AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR OF LAND DEVELOPMENT

  2. Program of Rural Areas Development 2007-2013 Improving the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestrysector Thequalityoflife inruralareasand diversification of theruraleconomy Improving the environment and the countryside LEADER

  3. AXIS 4 LEADER • Implementation of Local Development Strategies • Implementation of cooperation projects • Running the Local Action Group, acquisition of skills and activation

  4. WATER RESOURCES OF THE EARTH Oceans 96,5 % Glaciers and permanent snowcover 1,74 % Permanent frozen land 0,022 % Subsurfacewater 1,7 % Soilwater 0,76 % Lakes 0,013 % Rivers 0,0002 % Wetlands 0,0008 % Waterinatmosphere 0,001 % Biologicalwater 0,0001 %

  5. WATER RESORCES USE 7 times growth in the last century Actual total use in the world: 2180 km3Annual water abstraction by source and by sector in UNEC region Agriculture: 69 % Industry: 23 % Domestic: 8 % Source: EEA, based on data from Eurostat data table:

  6. WATER RESOURCES ISSUE 1.Seasonal and spatial distributionof precipitation Results: permanent too less,insomeperiodstoo much ortoo less, trends of decreasing of water resources, catastrophes. 2. Fast rising of waterdemanddue to population growth (from1.65 billion to 6,3 billions inthelastcentury), economic development and changestandard of living. 3. Climatechange– trends of water resources decreasing. 4.Polutionof waterresorces.

  7. WATER CATASTROPHES (floods, droughts, tsunami, cyclones, landslides (mudslides, snowslides etc.) Number of water’s catastrophes Cost of water’s catastrophes

  8. Number of lost of life (red colour) and number of incured people (black colour)in catastrophes connected with water

  9. Criticalsituationsinforestconcerningwaterconditions • Catastrophes • Shortor long term states Floods Droughts Overflow Deficits

  10. Total number of people (milions) in UNEC region affected by drought (blue colour), extreme temperature (dark brown), flood disasters (light brown) and storm (green)

  25. Problems: • - technically difficult, • - economically expensive, • environmentally negative. • Source: EEA Eldred 2.08 • (European Lakes, Dams and Reservoirs • Database), 2008. • Development of water • reservoir’s capacity in Europe DEVELOPMENT OF NEW WATER RESOURCES

  26. SOLUTIONS? The main ways: water saving, water recyckling, water harvesting. Tools: legislation,  participation of all sectors, economy mechanisms,  research and technology develipment,  education,  monitoring and controlling systems.
