This task can be solved only in the presence of well adjusted, system of collecting, processing and implementation of information. For ensuring food security of the country it is necessary to provide the integrated control system of water resources at timely coordination of all stages of regulation on the basis of multiplefactor monitoring of indicators.The increasing deficiency of water resources in basins of the cross-border rivers of the arid region of the republic demands introduction of the new scheme of management which would allow their use in the conditions of limitation.Due to the formation of the new independent states need of improvement of the existing organizational forms of ownership and water resources management of the cross-border rivers which will be proved on rules of international law and the best practice of cooperation pools when sharing taking into account the interests of the adjacent countries of the region is caused.
