Water Management in Era of Climate Change

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Building Climate Resilience in Agriculture

Abstract

Water is a vital and foremost resource that sustains the life at maximum survival level on the earth. Unfortunately, the recent circumstances and sudden temperature fluctuation drastically reduce the availability of usable water especially in the urban cities of many countries. In this way, higher risk of livelihood and negative economic growth under shortage of water become a severe threat to food security. This chapter suggests and recommends the potential water management issues and technologies for mitigating its related problems. The chapter includes the integrated approaches to managing water and climate change, transboundary water management, nexus consideration, water, sanitation, and hygiene, water and health, water and agriculture, water and energy, water and ecosystem, saving water technologies approach.
