Abstract

The article analyzes the financial instruments of water protection in the field of the Hungarian regulation, because in water management the economic regulation, which can be realized through the means of financial regulation, is of greater importance than official banning rules. Water protection and consumption can be influenced through regulation of environmental charges and regulation of other payment obligations. Financial instruments of passive water protection can be mentioned that protect the water base from excessive pollution. Such a tool is the soil load fee and the water load fee. The former is payable in the case of groundwater loading, while the latter is charged in case of surface water load. Means of active defense protect the use of water by charging for the water as an environmental element. Financial instruments of active defense include water resource contributions, usage fees, and a potential instrument could be water tax. The article also presents a sketchy concept of water tax as a possible financial solution to the water crisis.
