Koltsov V. B., Kondratieva O. V.

The purpose of the study of this work is to develop approaches to monitoring the use of water resources in the regional economy based on international standards. The introduction of such monitoring will make it possible to use water statistics indicators to develop a comprehensive system of indicators of the level of socio-economic development of the country's regions in terms of including their natural resources, including water resources, in the economic turnover. The developed system of ecological and economic monitoring, in the case of strict compliance with international standards for its implementation, becomes suitable not only for measuring the degree of rationality of involving water resources in economic turnover, but also for calculating the efficiency of using other varieties from the whole set of local natural resources. One of the main directions of rational and economical use of water resources is to ensure not only oneself, but also future generations, as well as compliance of water resources with high quality standards in the future. In order to achieve maximum social and economic well-being of people, it is necessary to develop water resources, as well as all areas that are associated with them, without damaging the ecosystem.
