Public water supply service is to provide certain guaranteed level of quantity and quality in any given circumstances. In this regard, public water supply service treated as public goods that either central or state authority governs for good intentions. Growing concerns about water scarcity in national level due to its vulnerability on climate change lead public to suppress economic burden. In fact, Korean government has had a similar concern bringing to construct 16 weirs in the four major rivers. This construction was launched under the name of green growth mega project in 2008 and consumed almost 17 billion dollars up to today for improving water quality and quantity. In this research, six different models were applied to calculate willingness to pay (WTP) for the future water scarcity. If we allow that the mega project lasts for 30 years without any maintenance, the maximum WTP becomes approximately 320 million dollars in 3% discount rate. In addition, if we assume that the Korean economic growth rate becomes much lower than anticipated, the maximum WTP will be about 416 million dollars. None of these numbers is higher than the total construction cost of this mega project under the given conditions.

In this article, the authors consider the problems of using large dams, and analyze environmental and economic indicators. Reducing climate pollution and eradicating poverty are two of the most serious challenges facing the world today. More than 50,000 large dams block at least 60% of the world's rivers. The consequences of this massive engineering program are devastating. Large dams destroy species; flood vast areas of wetlands, forests, and agricultural land; moving tens of millions of people, and influencing half a billion people living downstream.

In this article, the authors examines the application of geomaterials in road constructions, it economic indicators, the dependence of surface density and unit cost, as well as strength and unit cost, are analyzed. The economic and technical advantages of using woven geomaterials are shown. Geosynthetic materials allow increasing the strength of road structures and reducing the cost of construction while maintaining strength and reliability. Geogrid road has all the permits and technical documentation: the calculation methods are developed for the solution of road construction. Woven geomaterials are the best to use and have a number of advantages, but now nonwoven geomaterials are usually used in Russia, which is caused by imperfect design methods that do not take into account the strength of the geomaterial and reduce the density of pavement when using thick geomaterials. Geomaterials are geosynthetic products for strengthening slopes, slopes, coastal zones, road surfaces and other territories that need strengthening of soils. Geomaterials, among other things, are an excellent protection against erosion, environmentally safe, reliable, have a long useful life and are easily installed. Depending on the needs and type of territory, geogrids, geomatics and road geosets are used.
