Abstract
The main idea of the article is to study the problem of regional development in the conditions of limited water resources. The subject of the study is theoretical and methodological provisions and applied practical recommendations for the regulation of regional development in the conditions of limited water resources. The purpose of the article is to determine the connection between water supply (water potential) of Ukrainian regions and their specialization in production and trade in the conditions of water resource constraints and determine the further prospects for regional development.

Summary
The concepts of food security, energy security and access to natural resources have been widely discussed. The most serious security threat is associated with water deficit and it is not wars for water resources, but rather an aspect of human security that could endanger both state security and international security. It has to be taken into account that a water deficit generates a conflict, but the conflict itself can lead to a lack of water. It is considered that trade with "real water" between territories without moisture is impossible due to long distances and associated costs, because water as a production resource is required in a considerable volume (Oki, Yano and Hanasaki, 2017). International water trade through the construction of channels and the redistribution of river flows is very limited due to huge capital expenditures
