Abstract

The article proves that water and land resources are used inefficiently, which leads to a violation of the ecological sustainability of natural systems and the economic efficiency of agricultural landscapes. It is substantiated that the improvement of ecological and economic security in land and water resources will lead to systemic and synergistic effects of the balanced functioning of industries for strategic state and regional interests. The article emphasizes that institutions dealing with land and water resources do not have time to respond to the growing intensity of economic use of river basins, the growing relationship between land and water resources, and the growth of competition for their use. That is why more adaptive and flexible mechanisms are needed, which will allow solving the problems of lack of natural resources and preservation of market potential more effectively. The author proposed an original approach to the joint management of water and land resources, which includes a systematic assessment of the potential of land and water resources, as well as an analysis of alternatives for their optimal use and improvement of economic and social conditions based on the process of participation of all interested parties. It has been established that planning is one of the most important components of joint management, which includes the assessment of water and land resources, thedetermination of the needs and tasks of their use, the selection and implementation of optimal options for sustainable resource managementtechnologies at various levels (for individual enterprises, regions or at the national level) as well as monitoring and assessing consequences forinforming decision-makers. It has been proved that effective and inclusive management, as well as coordinated and integrated policy measures in various sectors of the economy, are necessary to create effective mechanisms for the joint management of water and land resources.
