Water Resources Management

Water Resources Management is the comprehensive process of planning, developing, distributing, and managing the optimal use of water resources. As a field within both Engineering and Environmental Engineering, it involves the design and operation of physical infrastructure like dams, reservoirs, and treatment plants, while simultaneously addressing the critical need for sustainability, water quality protection, and ecosystem health. The central challenge lies in balancing the often-competing demands of agriculture, industry, domestic consumption, and environmental preservation to ensure the equitable and efficient allocation of water for current and future generations.
