Water Demand and Quality Management

Abstract

Water demand and quality management are vital components of ensuring universal access to clean water and safeguarding water resources for future generations. It involves strategies to reduce water consumption, including initiatives like water pricing, public education, and water-efficient technologies, safeguarding water quality through pollution prevention, wastewater treatment, and watershed management. Decreasing water demand can enhance water quality by reducing pollution entering water bodies. The goal of management is to cut back on water use without compromising social or economic advancement. Municipalities, industry, and agriculture are just a few of the industries that can use water quality management techniques. Integrated water demand and quality management is an approach to water resource management that considers the interconnectedness of water quantity and quality. This approach recognizes that water demand management and water quality management are complementary and must be considered together to achieve sustainable water resource management.
