• Planting of pastures, watering of sidewalks and so on.
Such prohibitions can be applied by local authorities. These prohibitions can often be
applied to
maintaining water for major purposes during drought. These restrictions may be of the following form:
• Single / double system, where single or double numbered addresses are used alone or in pairs
on water usage.
• Prohibition of water use can be applied on concrete days of the week
• The use of water can be prohibited in the second half of the day, when the evaporation is more
• Implementation of more prohibition of irrigation by flooding compared to those using the drip
irrigation system
Such prohibitions have been used in the practice of many countries. For example, Australia, UK,
etc. Some Australian states have been
banned by irrigation of lawns, irrigation by water spraying,
washing machines, and pools due to lack of water. Due to this trying to be paid to the demand for
water.
At the
same time, limitation and development of water use in all sectors means agriculture,
domestic supply, industry and so on. taking into account the water use restrictions in the water supply,
as well as the proper formulation of public consciousness in the field of water use. Particularly, the full
application of the water supply system, based on water legislation, promoting
a clean production
mechanism in the industrial sector, and the assessment of the potential for agriculture in non-irrigation
farming is one of the key conditions. At present “Azersu” OJSC is using waste water which cleaned
industrial area, thus saving freshwater.
In connection with the adoption of the Law AR No. 759-VQD of June 30, 2017 on Amendments in
the Water Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the following measures are taken:
a) Determine the rules for drawing up water economy balances on republican, water basins and
administrative territorial units
b) Approval of annual water economy balance
in the compiled republic
c) determination of water use rules in Azerbaijan
Discussion
It should be noted that one of the most commonly adopted development concepts in the world is
the concept of Sustainable Development. In fact, the emergence and adoption of this concept has been
linked to the UN's nature protection activities. The essence of the concept of "sustainable development"
is the social, economic and ecologically normal payment of the needs of today's generations, without
endangering the lives of future generations. Generally there are two types of tariff estimation methods.
One of them is the tariff method currently used in Azerbaijan. In this method, the price of water is the
same for all users. At the same time, various
tariffs for agriculture, industry, the private sector and
population are defined. This tariff is based on the company's annual maintenance and operating costs.
The user is also paying for the amount of water he / she uses.
This tariff method is applied in Soviet times in Azerbaijan. However, this method is obsolete and
ineffective. Currently, this tariff is improved, taking into account the population's financial situation and
comparing prices in the regions. This method does not encourage the water supplier to improve quality
and performance. Also, this tariff system does not allow the use of spare resources. Thus, the water user
charges the amount specified in the industry and household irrespective of the use of water. Therefore,
in some countries the differentiated tariff system is used. The principle of scrutiny has improved water
use effectively. At present, Azerbaijan uses a similar tariff system for gas and light supply. This
tariff is
defined by monthly or annual norms.
Advice about professional legal and regulatory rules ought to hear in situation as management
application of clean technologies, to live people in healthy natural condition, full using natural resources
for the welfare of the world’s population today.Whitin these priorities, application of technologyies
which
are effective using energy, water and ecologically favorable – “green” technologies are
widespread. "Green technology" which is the preparation of facilities that benefit from nature and
completely harmless or minimal damage for the environment. Principles of waste water recycling are
include this measures, too. Considering this, application of “green” technologies is one of the way to
solve problems in some countries.

Environmental policy of Azerbaijan was focused on national features during the years of
independence. Azerbaijan is implementing local policy and necessery improvement of the legislation
according to decisions of Rio and Johannesburg Palace Summits. There are adobption of some state
programs and laws, better management, expansion of specially protected areas, national park networks,
perfection of people’s water supply and actions prevention of environmental pollution among them.
Azerbaijan had been signed global sustainable development agenda for years of 2015-2030, with
other member states of United National Organization, in september of 2015, in Sustainable
Development Summit which held in New York. This summit has approved the 17 Sustainable
