Influence of socio-economic factors on the achievement of sustainable development goals in the field of integratedwater resources management

he article analyzes the impact of socio-economic factors affecting the effectiveness of water resources management. Significant differences in the speed of achieving the SDGs were identified, due to both social and infrastructural factors. An assessment of the state of water infrastructure in the Republic of Kazakhstan showed that in some areas the quality of water supply and sanitation does not meet the requirements of sustainable development, experiencing difficulties in providing reliable water supply,hindering progress towards achieving the SDGs. The study also showed factors related to the size of the population and its socio-economic activities that have the most significant impact on the load on water resources. Therefore, for effective IWRM in theregions of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is necessary to solve key infrastructure challenges. It was revealed that for successful progress, comprehensive measures are needed to improve water resources management through infrastructure modernization, development of educational programs and public participation in water resources management. High population growthrates and an increase in industrial production increase pressure on water resources, making it necessary to introduce water-saving technologies and modernize infrastructure.To achieve the purpose of the study, quantitative and qualitative methods were used, correlation and regression analysis was used to quantify factors affecting water resources, as well as a method for analyzing infrastructure problems through the study of these regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
