An Approach to the Construction of the Regional Water Resource Model

The contemporary analysis of regional development is unthinkable without taking into account the water resource factor. Many specific properties of the regional water resource model developed for this purpose result from that information about water resources which is necessary for the regional planner. In actual fact, he wouldlike to know not so much what the water supply or quality management system should be, as what the influence of water resource availability on regional development is. In the present approach such an influence is implemented through the mechanism of the total cost associated with the creation of regional water supply and treatment systems as well as the marginal water costs distributed geographically. The regional water resource model below consists of the two interconnected systems: water supply and water quality management. Many general statements are implemented for the Silistra Case Study and submitted in the conclusive section
