Based on the analyses of water interactions and water balance, this paper discusses the issues on the assessment and regulation of soil waterresources, which lays the scientific basis for limited irrigation and water-saving agriculture.
The paper examines the distribution of water and the location of physical and political boundaries in Central Asia, identifies indicators of the susceptibility of its various regions to resource and water-related conflict, and then applies those
indicators to discover the potential for future water-based resource conflict. Water quality and regional social unrest as a consequence of migration from regions of environmental deterioration are examined.

The shortage of waterresource and large scale exploitation of groundwater have caused a series of environmental problems. The aims of mitigative countermeasures are mainly at developing water saving agriculture and industries, strenghtening water
resources management and reallocating waterresources between different regions.

Acute water shortages are experienced regularly in many areas. It is thus of the greatest importance to identify other sources of water in these regions. Fog is one such new source of fresh water and shows a significant potential for use
as a domestic water supply, notably the South African Fog Water Project. - (AJC)

There is a view that owing to the scarcity of the waterresources and rapid increase in population in the Middle East and existing of large rivers, the contradictions over the waterresources have become increasingly sharp among the countries
concerned, and a war for water will soon break out in the region. The AA. put forward a different view, believing that no war for controlling the waterresources will take place in the region.
This paper presents generalized information and evaluation of the geological structure and neotectonic features of Bulgaria and their control on the formation, reproduction and accumulation of thermal mineral waters; the spatial, qualitative
and quantitative features of the principal groups of thermal mineral waters and their aquifer systems; and the prospects for utilization of the hydrogeothermal wealth in the social and economic life of this country.

Existing waterresources can become inadequate if water losses are too important and if there is an irrational use of water. Water conservation could solve some water supply problems by providing more reasonable water consumption and additional time
for development of new resources. The possibilities for reducing water use and the need for developing a national conservation program are discussed. An analysis of the variables which affect water use is performed. Developing of water-use efficiency standards
for plumbing fixtures and conservation-oriented water rates and measures are proposed.

Based on the essential principle of sustainable development, this paper puts forward a general idea on waterresources optimization and eco-environmental protection in Qaidam Basin, and identifies the competitive multiple targets of waterresources
optimization. According to the Multiple Targets Decision by the Closest Value Model, the best plan of waterresources optimization, eco-environmental protection and sustainable development in Qaidam Basin is finally decided.

This paper briefly analyzes the characteristics of the basin's waterresources, and expounds the processes of their utilization and regional development. It points out that the exploration of waterresource is close to the limit and the utilization
of waterresource is unreasonable. According to the transforming pattern between runoff and groundwater in the basin, an overall planning of the utilization of the waterresource is advanced. Building up an economic system which can effectively use water
resource is the orientation of the oasis sustainable economic development.
