The article is dedicated to the analysis of legal issues concerning funding of conservation measures. Features of legal framework of relations in the field of funding of conservation measures in Ukraine were established. Special attention was given to the problems of budget funding of conservation measures in the field of protection from harmful impact of rural and agricultural areas waste waters. Based on the analysis of the legislation in force and the practice of its enforcement, we concluded that funding of conservation measures, including those in the field of protection from harmful impact of rural and agricultural areas waste waters, has low effectiveness as a result of non-targeted use of funds from environmental tax and rental payments, funding of conservation measures by residual principle, inconsistencies in budget and environmental legislation, and absence of effective government control over the procedure of funding and executing policy documents concerning environment protection and state authorities’ responsibility for improper performance of their duties. Amendments to the legislation in force were suggested in order to improve economic and legal environment protection mechanism.
