Water resource management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources. It is a sub-set of water cycle management. Ideally, water resource management planning has regard to all the competing demands for water and seeks to allocate water on an equitable basis to satisfy all uses and demands. As with other resource management, this is rarely possible in practice.
Water is an essential resource for all life on the planet. Of the water resources on Earth only three percent of it is fresh and two-thirds of the freshwater is locked up in ice caps and glaciers. Of the remaining one percent, a fifth is in remote, inaccessible areas and much seasonal rainfall in monsoonal deluges and floods cannot easily be used. At present only about 0.08 percent of all the world’s fresh water is exploited by mankind in ever increasing demand for sanitation, drinking, manufacturing, leisure and agriculture.
Much efforts in water resource management is directed at optimising the use of water and in minimising the environmental impact of water use on the natural environment.

It's a proactive approach to maintaining an aging network while operating on an ever-tightening budget. The IBM Intelligent Water Platform enables insight and control over every facet of water management—from pressure, to consumption, to maintenance—so you can predict pipe failures, manage water loss and reduce costs, a critical step along the path to becoming a smarter city.
Ambuja Cement Foundation (ACF) has undertaken water resource management as one of the key focus programmes to be implemented across states in India to create an impact on the environment, groundwater resources, agriculture and allied livelihood activities. ACF collaborates with various state Governments, local NGOs and academic institutions to implement various state specific water conservation programmes. Our work has also been assessed as a part of Ambuja Cements water accounting study which resulted in the Company being certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) as 100% water positive. This certification is a testimony to our efforts taken in bringing about sustainable water management in the community. This video showcases our contribution towards water resource management in Gujarat.
As the world reels under the threat of unrelenting climate change, erratic monsoons and fast depleting groundwater reserves, The Miracle Water Village narrates the inspirational story of impoverished farming community in India that reversed its fortunes through its visionary model of water management. Lying in one of the worst drought-prone regions of India, the village of Hiware Bazar battled many decades of sparse rain and failed crops. However, 20 years ago, the entire village came together to script a silent revolution by designing a rainwater-harvesting model that saved every drop of the scanty rain they received. Today, the village is literally an oasis in the middle of the desert, boasting of bumper harvests, dairy co-operatives, millionaire families and visionary farmers. H...
New concepts for a decentralized water management for the Middle East are being developed in the international research project SMART (Sustainable Management of Available Water Resources with Innovative Technologies). The Middle East is one of the worst water shortage regions in the world. Together with colleagues from Jordan, Palestine and Israel, researchers from the Helmholtz Center are exploring ways to stabilize the water supply in this region. The main goal is to use scarce resources in the best possible way, therefore enabling the reuse of wastewater cycles, while at the same time taking into account religious provisions.

Mine operators must continually reevaluate their risk to flood-related impacts. The Smart H2O Solution is a water infrastructure management solution whose integrated components are designed to improve the operability of systems such as tailings dams, while also ensuring the safety of mines in the event of emergency. The Smart H2O Solution for mining uses 2D flood models to simulate flood propagation, determine risk of inundation, levee design limits, and contingency plans. Groundwater models are used to assess impacts of underground mine flooding while the Smart H2O Dashboard application gives customers full operations visibility. Tailing dam and mine operators use the Dashboard to quickly analyse the state of the dam based on readings in real-time so they can take appropriate actions. Ult...
Exploring Indian Civilization by Michel Danino,IIT Kanpur 1. Common to India’s two early civilizations, expertise in water harvesting and water structures holds some surprises in store for us.
Presented by Patrick H. Willey, P.E., Wetland and Drainage Engineer, USDA NRCS West National Technology Support Center; Hamid Farahani, Ph.D., Water Management Engineer, USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center; Ruth Book, Ph.D., P.E., State Conservation Engineer, USDA NRCS Illinois; and Jerry Walker, P.E., Agricultural Engineer, USDA NRCS Central National Technology Support Center Unrestricted agricultural drainage systems contribute to increased loss of nitrates and other soluble constituents that end up in nearby water bodies. This creates economic, environmental, and human health concerns downstream. A prime example is evident in the Mississippi River Basin, within which the nitrate carried in drainage water is contributing to hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico. Drainage researc...
