Annotation: A number of states are already on the verge of exhausting the available possibilities for intra-basin and interbasin transfers of part of the river flow and rational water management of the territory. This forces us to start studying and developing water sharing projects based on interzonal (interstate) territorial transfers of part of the river flow. The analysis of the dynamics and forecasts of water consumption clearly indicate that the coming century will be characterized for humanity by the search for solutions to the problem of water resources, and will become for the world community a period of solving the problems of mutually beneficial sharing of water resources between states on the basis of large-scale territorial redistribution of water resources.
