"Climate change, the decrease of surface water resources coming mainly from neighboring countries, on the other hand, the increase in the population, the development of the country's economy, including the development of agriculture, the expansion of arable land, irrigation and drinking water supply networks have made the issue of water security one of the most urgent issues."
