Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the current topic of public water resources management. Globalization presents new challenges and demands for sustainable development for society. The current problem of modern humanity is the rational use of limited water resources. Water management is closely linked to the harmonization of social, economic and environmental requirements. The domestic water use system cannot meet European requirements for effective water supply due to moral and physical wear. An inadequate regulatory framework reduces the effectiveness of management processes and requires finding ways to attract investment to the industry, including in public-private cooperation. The analysis of the main problems of water management development, including noncompliance with European standards, moral and physical wear, lack of effective systems of water resources planning, monitoring and control of use of water resources, showed that these problems are primarily the result of an imperfect system of public water management. Based on commercialization processes, the water supply system through the implementation of public-private partnership mechanisms, provided that private entities are clearly monitored by public authorities, can produce significant socioeconomic and environmental results. The research developed an algorithm for implementing an effective water management system at the state level by developing and implementing public-private partnership projects in accordance with the requirements of an effective water management system. The mathematical model of information and analytical support of processes of monitoring of rational water use in conditions of implementation of public-private partnership projects is defined.
