Abstract

Management of a human-controlled social-ecological system should be based on a set of criteria allowing a compromise between the necessity to conserve the aquatic ecosystem in some predefined “reference” state and the necessity to provide the required ecosystem services such as water supply, a recreational site, and fishery. The task of water resource management can therefore be formulated as the optimization of an objective function (Q) of the economic activities (EA): anthropogenic activities in the lake watershed and intensity of water resources uses, water quality (WQ), and economic effectiveness of the management (costs versus benefits, CB): and assessment of the relationships between them should be a central task for establishing a scientifically based water resource management strategy. In reality, however, we demonstrate the problematic aspects of such an implementation.

Fußnoten
1
Throughout the paper we define ``management activities'' as ``Economic activities''. We note that preventing point source pollution, reduction of diffuse source pollution and water resources management at the watershed are not evaluated on ground of their costs and benefits. However, economic considerations should be a major guideline to those activities. We, therefore, recognized the necessity to define them as such.
