Water Management in Climate Change Conditions

U radu je prikazano realno stanje u oblasti voda, posebno vode kao vodnog resursa. Sa prosečnim količinama domicilnih voda od oko 1700 m3 po stanovniku godišnje Srbija spada među vodom siromašnije zemalje Evrope. Situacija je još nepovoljnija ako se uzmu u obzir prostorna i vremenska neravnomernost. U uslovima klimatskih promena situacija u pogledu raspoloživih količina vode biće još nepovoljnija, uz smanjenje prosečnih protoka i izraženiju unutargodišnju neravnomernost. Zbog toga se sagledavaju opšti strateški pravci razvoja vodoprivredne infrastrukture, kao i neophodnost planiranja složenih integralnih sistema, sa akumulacjama kao okosnicama sitema, u cilju racionalnog korišćenja, uređenja i zaštite voda.The paper presents the actual situation in the field of water, especially water as a resource. With an average amount of domestic water of about 1700 m3 per capita per year, Serbia is one of the poorest countries in Europe. The situation is even more unfavorable if space and time variability are taken into account. In the conditions of climate change, the situation regarding the available quantities of water will be even more unfavorable, with a decrease in average flows and more pronounced temporal variability. Therefore, the general strategic development of water resources management infrastructure is considered, as well as the necessity of planning complex integrated water resources systems, with reservoirs as the key elements of the systems, in order to rationally use, regulate and protect water
