Abstract

The article examines various forms of regional models of management of economic zones of catchment basins on the example of the experience of the United States of America, Great Britain, Canada and other countries. The purpose of the study is to analyze and compare models of economic management of watersheds, as well as to identify the features of development and models of basin management. Results. The search for effective mechanisms for watershed management was an incentive to create unified mechanisms for watershed management and predetermined the direction of reforms in this area. However, in regional international practice, there are disagreements about specific methods for implementing a unified management model. The USA offers the most centralized management model. The UK practices a market-based approach to solving this issue, and the experience of Australia is the least centralized management model, although it fully takes into account the interests of representatives of various classes and plays a positive role in public life.
