The article considers natural and anthropogenic factors affecting the formation of a qualitative composition of river waters. The degree of impact of the natural-climatic and production-economic components of the water management situation on the water resources of the studied region is estimated. A change in the average annual climatic parameters characteristic of the Astrakhan Region (increase in the amount of precipitation, winter air temperature) that affect the increase in the runoff of the river Volga is in the last decade. It shows how the social and economic crises that led to a decline in industrial production and some restructuring of the economy, reflected in the values of water consumption and sanitation. The structure of water consumption and the dynamics of the main general annual indicators of water consumption and sanitation in the territory of the Astrakhan region and their share for the ten-year period (2006-2015) are analyzed. The structure of water disposal and the main sources of pollution of surface waters are considered. An assessment is made on the various components that form the water management situation in the region. The main trends of its development and direction of reducing the negative impact of economic activity on water resources are revealed.
