“…Плотина, образующая водохранилище, обеспечивая постоянный напор воды, изменяет естественное состояние речного стока и является ключевым фактором, определяющим его негативное воздействие на нижележащие экосистемы [5]. Так, сброс больших объёмов высокоминерализованных вод из карьеров привел к резкому ухудшению качества воды на всем протяжении р. Вилюй.…”

Water resource management policies impact how water supplies are protected, collected, stored, treated, distributed, and allocated among multiple users and purposes. Water resource policies influence the decisions made regarding the siting, design, and operation of infrastructure needed to achieve the underlying goals of these policies. Water management policies vary by region depending on particular hydrologic, economic, environmental, and social conditions, but in all cases they will have multiple impacts affecting these conditions. Science can provide estimates of various economic, ecologic, environmental, and even social impacts of alternative policies, impacts that determine how effective any particular policy may be. These impact estimates can be used to compare and evaluate alternative policies in the search for identifying the best ones to implement. Among all scientists providing inputs to policy making processes are analysts who develop and apply models that provide these estimated impacts and, possibly, their probabilities of occurrence. However, just producing them is not a guarantee that they will be considered by policy makers. This paper reviews various aspects of the science-policy interface and factors that can influence what information policy makers need from scientists. This paper suggests some ways scientists and analysts can contribute to and inform those making water management policy decisions. Brief descriptions of some water management policy making examples illustrate some successes and failures of science informing and influencing policy.

A discussion of the nature of public systems and their management. Examples of public systems and the services they provide show how complicated and complex they can be, and the challenges analysts have in providing information useful to those responsible for providing and managing them. Case studies involving modeling to improve system performance are briefly described as are the lessons learned from them.
