Short summary
As a result of global climate change nowadays Ukraine is facing the problem of environmental degradation of river basins. Thus, achieving an acceptable level of water security in Ukraine should be defined as the strategic objective of national water policy. The basic principles of a new water policy are supposed to be represented in Water Strategy of Ukraine. Integrated water management by the basin principle should serve as a main tool for achieving the objectives of country's water security.
