Fundamentals of the philosophical content methodology on the creation and development of a class of natural and technical systems in water management construction

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to assess the philosophical, categorical concept meaning of the notions 'system', 'system approach' and 'system research' in the new class of natural and technical systems (NTS) 'Natural Environment - Activity Object- Population' ('NE - AO - P'), which have received theoretical and practical application in economic and other activities related to the use of water resources in almost all technological processes of industrial and agricultural production, in electric energy generation at hydroelectric power plants, pumped storage hydro stations, nuclear power plants, thermal power plants and regional power stations, in water supply of urban farms, settlements and other areas. In accordance with this concept in the considered branch of economic activity it is necessary to find a certain place of this concept in the general process of developing the natural-technical systems class theoretical foundations. One of the scientific thinking formations features in the creation of a new class of natural and technical systems is the wide distribution of system research related to the use of water resources in various sectors of economic activity. The concept of 'system', 'system research', 'system approach', 'system analysis' and other 'system' concepts are widely used today, primarily in scientific and technical disciplines - general systems theory. They serve in these disciplines as an important conceptual basis for theoretical constructions and for the practical application of new scientific ideas and achievements. At the same time, the use of system concepts is becoming increasingly widespread in all previously established fields of science, including in water management science related to the use of water resources and technology. The concepts of 'system' and 'system approach' have already gained the status of general scientific and general technical concepts.
