Methodological foundations of the philosophical content of the system concepts 'ecological state' and 'ecological safety' in the use of water resources

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to assess the philosophical categorical meaning of the concepts 'ecological state' and 'ecological safety' in the space and time of the water management object influence zones, hereinafter referred to as the 'Activity Object' as a part of the natural-technical system 'Natural environment - Activity Object - Population', associated with the use of water resources in a particular branch of economic activity. It should be noted that the 'ecological state' concept in the considered space and time of the river basin geosystem, where the quantitative and qualitative indicators of water resources are formed, determines the most important factor of the life activity of the 'Population' living in the zones of influence of the 'Activity Object' - 'Ecological Geological Safety'. In the formation of scientific thinking in the field of water resources use in various sectors of economic activity, it determined the class of natural and technical systems' creation and development, in which the central technogenic component is various types of hydraulic structures, making certain changes in the natural processes of interconnection, interaction and relationship of biotic and abiotic elements among themselves in the composition of the 'Natural Environment' and the life of the 'Population', which form the 'ecological state' as a factor of 'ecological safety'. The system concepts 'ecological state' and 'ecological safety' are the most important basis in the scientific assessment of the anthropogenic impact level of the 'Activity Object' on 'Natural Environment' within the spatial limits of basin geosystems when making practical decisions.
