EXPERIMENTAL CALCULATIONS OF WATER SATELLITE ACCOUNT INDICATORS
Abstract
The article presents results of the author's own research on an experimental constructing of the satellite accounts of water resources for the Republic of Belarus within the framework of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water). The author establishes the relevance of the implementing the SEEA-Water, that creates a conceptual framework for consistent and coherent arranging hydrological and economic information for the analysis of water sector contribution to the economy of the country, as well as the impact of the economy on water resources. The article includes approaches to constructing water accounts, structured information base, experimental calculations of individual indicators reflecting water resources.
The paper substantiates research directions in water resources, which, together with the author's information and methodological proposals served as the basis for constructing a pilot water accounts in physical terms, based on the methodology of SEEA-Water adapted to the national context. The article analyzes the system of indicators for water resources, considers the directions for analysis of water resources in the Republic of Belarus. The conditions for the introduction of the SEEA-Water into statistical practice are outlined.
