Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to assess the philosophical, categorical concept meaning of the notions “system”, “system approach” and “system research” in the new class of natural and technical systems (NTS) “Natural Environment - Activity Object– Population” (“NE – AO - P”), which have received theoretical and practical application in economic and other activities related to the use of water resources in almost all technological processes of industrial and agricultural production, in electric energy generation at hydroelectric power plants, pumped storage hydro stations, nuclear power plants, thermal power plants and regional power stations, in water supply of urban farms, settlements and other areas. In accordance with this concept in the considered branch of economic activity it is necessary to find a certain place of this concept in the general process of developing the natural-technical systems class theoretical foundations. One of the scientific thinking formations features in the creation of a new class of natural and technical systems is the wide distribution of system research related to the use of water resources in various sectors of economic activity. The concept of “system”, “system research”, “system approach”, “system analysis” and other “system” concepts are widely used today, primarily in scientific and technical disciplines — general systems theory. They serve in these disciplines as an important conceptual basis for theoretical constructions and for the practical application of new scientific ideas and achievements. At the same time, the use of system concepts is becoming increasingly widespread in all previously established fields of science, including in water management science related to the use of water resources and technology. The concepts of “system” and “system approach” have already gained the status of general scientific and general technical concepts.

The processes of modern evolutionary development of society are characterized by the increasingly pronounced tendency to better understand the surrounding natural habitat, in which all life processes determining the multifaceted types of human economic activity, where a special type is economic activity associated with the use of water resources take place
The main purpose of this article is to assess the philosophical, categorical concept meaning of the notions "system", "system approach" and "system research" in the new class of natural and technical systems (NTS) "Natural Environment - Activity Object– Population" ("NE – Activity Objects” (AO) - P"), which have received theoretical and practical application in economic and other activities related to the use of water resources in almost all technological processes of industrial and agricultural production, in electric energy generation at hydroelectric power plants, pumped storage hydro stations, nuclear power plants, thermal power plants and regional power stations, in water supply of urban farms, settlements and other areas
The concepts “system” and “systems approach” won the general scientific and general technical concepts status and, received such a status in water science, which contributes to the development of the most important branch of economic activity related to the use of water resources
Summary
The processes of modern evolutionary development of society are characterized by the increasingly pronounced tendency to better understand the surrounding natural habitat, in which all life processes determining the multifaceted types of human economic activity, where a special type is economic activity associated with the use of water resources take place. Based on dialectical-materialistic analysis of “element” and “structure” concepts development, this generalization made it possible to reveal that the basis of their widespread use in various scientific and technical fields is the presence of a certain internal unity, essential commonality in all their various variations This community turned out to be an extremely abstract theoretical reflection of such universal sides and connections, relations of the material world, which were not fully covered by previously formed philosophical categories. There was an objective basis for the inclusion of general scientific concepts of “element” and “structure” into the existing system of philosophical categories These concepts joined this system, found a definite place in it as regularly arising the new stages of cognitive, theoretical, methodological, practical assimilation of reality in creating a class of natural and technical systems for water resources use in economic
