Water Resources

Water resources refer to the sources of water that are useful or potentially useful to humans. This includes freshwater resources such as rivers, lakes, aquifers, reservoirs, and rainfall, as well as the management and preservation of these resources for agricultural, industrial, domestic, and recreational purposes. Effective water resource management aims to balance the demand for water with its sustainable availability, ensuring that both current and future needs are met while protecting ecosystems. Water resources are critical for sustaining life, supporting economic activities, and maintaining environmental health. They are subject to various challenges, including pollution, over-extraction, and climate change, which impact their quality and availability.
