The use of water resources to economic activity that is determined a necessity in human existence, all living beings and in almost all technological processes of industrial and agricultural production, fuel and energy complex and other industries, and other activities. At the modern stage of society development at the global level of the system ""Nature–Society–Man"" and the local level of basin geosystems, within which are formed the water resources, there is a strong tendency of the limited water resources within the bounding conditions for further development. Use of water within the local basin geosystems of the southern and Northern Caucasus the river Kuban, Terek and the Upper don, where more than 23 million people. (16.3 per cent of the total population of the Russian Federation)provided by the existing and newly built water system (WS) that in-basin and inter-basin regulation, redistribution of runoff (surface, underground), the selection of a water source and transportation of the estimated costs of water to a particular water user. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology basics of technical theory title of ""environment – Object of activity – Population"" existing in the composition of the WS, in which the main component is man-made hydraulic structures (HS), amending the natural processes of interaction between biotic and abiotic components, requiring a system of quantitative and qualitative assessment.
