Ecological foundations of international fresh water resources market formation
Abstract
The need for fresh water resources market formation is due to uneven distribution of these resources between states and their acute shortages in some regions. The problem of fresh water deficit can be solved only by its inter-basin transfer. The implementation of such projects is imminent and inevitably accompanied by large-scale negative impacts on the environment. Authors propose a new ecologically oriented concept for the development of water market (systematic trans-water concept). Practical implementation of the concept is regarded as one of the main objectives of modern globalistics and opens new possibilities for solving other pressing problems in this area.
