Article​​​​​​​ 29. Basin or territorial plans for the use and conservation of water and water objects

Basin or territorial plans for the use and conservation of water and water objects are drawn up on the basis of the following, taking into account the characteristics of the water resources basin:

comprehensive water use and conservation schemes;

state strategic water management programs;

data from water and water objects monitoring;

State Water Cadaster;

water management balances;

other data.

Basin or territorial plans for the use and conservation of water and water objects shall reflect the following:

a description of the water resources basin (assessment of the potential impact of climate change, water scarcity, drought, floods and mudslides, as well as the onset of other emergencies related to water resources, and the risk of pollution of water and water objects from external sources, including transboundary pollution);

a description of the protection zones of water objects and drinking water supply, as well as a list of types of economic and other activities that should be prohibited or restricted in these zones;

a quantitative and qualitative assessment of water resources within the basin or territory by sources and sectors of the economy, as well as by the volumes of water use by the population;

additional reserves of water resources, taking into account the needs of the environment;

an assessment of investment and financial needs, with the identification of possible sources for covering them;

priorities for the use of water and water objects, as well as the limits of its standardization and the restriction of the right to water use;

measures for increasing water supply and resilience to climate change, preventing and eliminating emergencies related to water resources, mitigating and eliminating their consequences in the event of such situations, and the costs for the implementation of these measures.

The implementation of basin or territorial plans for the use and conservation of water and water objects may also include other provisions that allow for the sustainable development of the basin or territory.
