Sustainable Water Management: Ensuring Fresh Water for Future Generations

|

Available freshwater sources are expected to decline with changes to rainfall patterns accompanying global climate change (McGee, 2013). As our population grows, so does the pressure on water sources for consumption. To ensure future supplies of fresh and clean water, sustainable water management must become a priority in all countries. It would allow a nation
