Abstract

The properties of natural waters are largely determined by the unique characteristics of this liquid; however, they are commonly not properly taken into account, and instead the concept of water as a continuous medium with foreign microcomponents is considered adequate. This approach is not appropriate for solving the problem of water resources management and the choice of innovation ways for the development of wet economic branches. A deeper study of the resource-economic properties of water should be based on molecular-dynamic models of this substance, the most important of which are described in this study. Many water-environmental processes are shown to be governed by the formation of ion-molecular associates and microstructural self-organization, determined by the specific properties of a grid of hydrogen bonds. This article is an analytical review (with some theoretical-experimental data of the authors), aimed to allow the reader to better understand the molecular-dynamic properties of water in the assessment of some water characteristics which are of importance for economic activity.
