Water- Problems

According to the International Water Management Institute environmental research organisation global water stress is increasing, and a third of all people face some sort of water scarcity. Where demand exceeds supply and no effective management operates, there will be conflicts between the various players involved.

The goal of this paper is intended to provide the legal, political, social, economic, ecological dimensions of water resource policy

Water conservation shows the policies, strategies and activities made to manage freshwater as a sustainable resource to shield the water environment, and to meet current and future human demand.

We all love water, but don’t know much about it. What I mean is that a lot of us don’t even know where our water comes from. That answer varies; for example, the city of Camarillo California gets its’ water in Camrosa Water District. It’s official website, “Camrosa Water District building Water Self- Reliance” provides information like what their purpose is, and as well as water conservation, building self-reliance, and other public information. This website states that Camrosa is currently in a state two water supply shortage. This means that there are restrictions on water use and a call for a voluntary fifteen percent reduction on the amount of water consumption. Also, according to Camrosa “Agricultural Water Management Plan”, water is being

Water can be considered the most important nonrenewable resource in the world. Every human across the world needs it in order to live and it carries a lot of value. The world is now at a stage where the scarcity of water is making people nervous because groundwater is at an all-time low. Several wars over the years have arisen in the Middle East for water. Desert is the many land condition that rules over the Middle East which means drier air, sand, and minimum water available. This is not a light issue since blood is being spilled over the control of certain rivers and dams within the area. Tension over control for water sources will only worsen as fresh water availability decreases.

For humans, drinking water is a biological necessity. As with any resource, however, access to water is often limited. This is based on a combination of circumstances constructing water as an economically-based, commodified resource. The control, regulation, and treatment of water by political bodies determines who has access to the resource. In the United States, this results in the interaction of Municipal, State, and Federal branches of government. The interaction of these bodies as related to the governance of water depends upon the prioritization of drinking water for the people. Ultimately, the difference

Several strategies are being embraced to help in reducing the amount of water used and being wasted in the long run. This is also to help with

regulations as well as the authorization of water uses that may have or potentially have, an

Water is one of the world’s most precious resources, but only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. Even more astonishing only one percent is easily accessible due to the amounts frozen in glaciers (Schnoor). Water sustainability “could be defined as supplying or being supplied with water for life or, perhaps more precisely, as the continual supply of clean water for human uses and for other living things” (Schnoor). In third world countries such as India and China there has always been a struggle for the allocation of water. Who is entitled to the water, who needs it more, and where will the water come from? Asia obtains agricultural self-sufficiency by emptying rivers into irrigation canals, while on the other hand India’s farmlands are watered by plundering the countries underground water. Neither, are sufficient solutions that allow for the immortality of water for future generations to come. This excessive tapping into groundwater is wringing third world countries dry. As farmers take digging wells into their own hands there is no regulation on how deep or how many wells can be dug. On the other hand, in first world countries there is excess water in areas that is not being allocated to those in need. For a country to achieve water sustainability, it requires an entire country to cooperate. The government needs to provide knowledge to both urban and rural areas about the state of emergency their groundwater levels are in and how they can help alongside to prevent furthering the

The ever-growing water consumption of people leads to water shortage by wasting water in other needless areas. In our

Global cooperation in water is necessary in the AMU countries due to unfavorable water situation in conjunction with the existence of common resources and a number of experiences to share.

Countries can reduce its water scarcity and maximize its benefits by improving the water efficiency by the use of existing water infrastructures. This will help the availability of water and reduces its environmental degradation. Improve water efficiency will contribute to countries development goals and reduce the demand.

With the changing hydrological cycles and increased number of droughts in many regions, it is likely that use of water might become a conflict between countries. Many countries started to think about water
