In 2001 the environmental carrying capacity ratio was 1.75 with a conditional safe status. In 2011 and 2015 the status of environmental carrying capacity has been exceeded with a ratio of 0.85 and 0.62. In 2017 there is a conditional safe status with an environmental carrying capacity ratio of 1.24.Keywords: Demand Water Resources, Ratio of carrying capacity, Supply water resources,
