Overview

Water management is the planning, development, distribution, and governance of Water resources to meet human, agricultural, and ecological demands while mitigating the risks of floods, droughts, and Water-quality degradation. It integrates hydrology, engineering, agronomy, and policy across surface Water and groundwater, and addresses competing uses including drinking supply, irrigation, hydropower, industry, and environmental flows. Core activities include allocation and irrigation scheduling, reservoir and dam operation and its downstream hydrological effects, watershed and wetland protection, and the safeguarding of supplies against waterborne disease. Climate variability and change increasingly shape Water availability through altered rainfall and streamflow, making trend analysis and adaptive, integrated approaches central to sustainability. Geospatial and geomatic tools support monitoring, modeling, and decision-making, linking Water management to food and energy security. Research relevant to this area examines geomatic tools for irrigation-system management, dam-operation impacts on downstream surface hydrology, climate-driven reductions in river Water levels, rainfall-trend and famine analysis, decision-making strategies to combat waterborne disease, residue retention and soil-Water sustainability in agriculture, and the Water-energy-food nexus. This peer-reviewed literature reflects the hydrological, agricultural, climatic, and governance dimensions of managing Water resources, situating Water management within the broader scientific study of Water and its sustainable use.
