As we all know that we are undergoing water scarcity and sustaining the water is becoming a big issue. Many say by using sustainable water management we can overcome the problem. So friends please share your opinion on, What is sustainable water management?
Interesting question abihik, Sustainable water management means guaranting a basic water requirement to all humans and to maintain human health. In this water quality will be maintained to meet certain minimum standards. These standards will vary depending on location and how the water is to be used. They also provide guidance for the individuals and institutions that use and manage water, resolve conflicts over water, and deal with the unavoidable uncertainties and risks in decision-making.
"It is recognised that water problems cannot be solved by quick technical solutions, solutions to water problems require the consideration of cultural, educational, communication and scientific aspects. Given the increasing political recognition of the importance of water, it is in the area of sustainable freshwater management that a major contribution to avoid/solve water-related problems, including future conflicts, can be found."
