Abstract

Many rural areas face significant challenges related to depopulation, limited economic opportunities, poor infrastructure, and so on. The aim of the paper is to analyze the benefits of implementing water projects and their effect on rural areas in economic, social and environmental terms and to outline the possibilities for achieving viability. The first part of the report provides a theoretical overview of the benefits of the implementation of water projects in rural areas. The analytical part of the paper is related to respondents' assessments of: 1) the economic, social and ecological effect of water projects on the territory of the rural municipality; 2) the benefits to the economy and society of the implementation of water projects; 3) the distribution of the benefits from the implemented projects in the economic, ecological and social aspects.
