The conceptual framework of time concept in assessing the environmental status in water facilities' influence zones

Abstract

The "Society"development at the present stage is characterized by a steady trend of limited natural resources, including water resources, in the limited conditions of further development, which determined a number of interconnected global problems (10), first four of which - Energy, Water, Food, Ecology are the most important problems. Without these problems' solving it is impossible to solve the remaining 6 important problems. The water resources use in economic and other activities is interconnected with the existing and created water management facilities in the form of complex hydraulic structures within the basin geosystems with the initial ecological state, which should be determined and predicted. This methodological approach makes it possible to consider the alternative options when making the decisions on the water facilities' location and creation in conjunction with the concept Time in assessing the ecological state in the basin geosystems spatial limits influence zones. The system mechanism operating within the basin geosystem under consideration and functioning as "Water Management Facility"as an "Activity Object""AO", as a class part NTE "NE - AO - P"provides the simultaneous ecological state "change"and "preservation"in space and time, where Time is a fundamental measure of environmental status. In Time flux ecological condition and unchanged past, speedy present and open future move forward under the "AO"and "NE"interaction process influence in the composition NTE "NE - AO - P", which determines the Time concept when assessing the environmental status in the "AO"influence areas within the basin geosystem. It was established that the ecological state in the "AO"influence zones in the composition NTE "NE - AO - P"varies from time from the accepted time source (construction start), which makes it possible to conclude: Time is the creation of new or nothing at all, and the ecological state in the AO influence zones is also the creation of a new one, as it is constantly changed and determined by irreversible processes
