The contemporary debate about the rational/efficient uses of environment stresses the management of water resources as condition for the fitted strategies for economic development. Once considering a specific natural unit as place of management - a river basin, for example – one is delimiting a certain “space of water resources”, endowed with a one or more functions those if materializes as those social and economics demands of the territories. Turning a space of water resources into an object of intervention aiming at the rural development, would imply the overcoming of, at least, one of these three types of problems: bad sectorial structure, precarious or remote joint with agglomeration economies and the production of ‘deseconomies’ between using activities. Key words: Space of water resources, management, rural development.
