Efficiency of the best available techniques in water utilization on water management site of the river Tom (Tomsk, Novosibirsk)

   The modern system of water resource management is based on the principles of best available techniques (BAT) in economy and other activities. It implies rational use of natural resources, their protection from harmful effects, creation of the integrated system for the natural resource–economy system. Shortcomings of the economic regulation in water management can be overcome by intensifying the transition to technological regulation via BAT. At present, the first stage of the implementing this system in Russia is completed in the field of environmental protection to minimize the negative environmental impact, including water resource management. The paper analyzes practical activities of water users to assess its effectiveness for the years 2019–2021 on the example of the Tom river from Kemerovo to its mouth in the Tomsk region. Positive trends in water quality are described. The development of the water-ecological situation in the study area is predicted. The obtained results will allow optimizing the water use in the region.
