Sustainability of water resources is becoming a big issue. There must be steps and factors we have to consider for the sustainability of the scarce resources.
Climate change and the hydrological variability of water’s distribution and occurrence are natural driving forces that, when combined with the pressures from economic growth and major population change, make the sustainable development of our water resources a challenge.
The roles and interdependencies of the different hydrological cycle components are often not fully appreciated. As a result, it is difficult to set up adequate protection and prevention strategies.
Poor quality water and unsustainable supplies limit national economic development and can lead to adverse health and livelihood conditions.
Prevention strategies and new technologies that augment existing natural water resources, reduce demand, and achieve higher efficiency are part of the response to meet today’s increasing demands on our available water resources.
