Subject The article discusses the trends and developments in water use indicators in Russian regions
Objectives The article aims to find a methodological approach to choosing administrative measures in the implementation of Russia's Waterway Strategy. The paper analyzes the key indicators of water use, identifies regional characteristics and change in water capacity.
Methods To calculate specific indicators and rank the regions, I used a comparative analysis of statistical data and the statistical method. As well, I used matrix tools.
Results I ground the need for a broad interpretation of the water capacity category from the perspective of international requirements, and I represent the composition of its elements, including the flow of fresh and recycling water, loss, waste water, and water externalities. I propose a classification of water loss and design a matrix approach to the justification of administrative measures.
Conclusions and Relevance The expanded interpretation of the water-capacity indicator, taking into account the mutual coordination of the indicators of flow and loss of water and the proposed matrix tolls of regional ranking and administrative impact measures, would contribute to improving the effectiveness of State monitoring of the implementation of the Waterway Strategy. The results and proposals obtained can be used both by the management of enterprises and State supervisory authorities.

Keywords: water management, water intensity, water externalities, administration tool, water loss, differentiation
