Abstract: | Water scarcity is a becoming a critical issue globally, driven largely by the demands of an exponentially growing human population
and complicated by the impacts of climate change on the amounts and distribution of precipitation. It is also due to mismanagement
as scarce water resources are being used simultaneously for irrigation, power generation, public and industrial water supply,
flood reduction, and wastewater disposal without consideration of the cumulative impacts to the water resources themselves.
This paper outlines eight ecologically based principles and associated guidelines as the basis for integrated and watershed-based
management of the world’s water resources. |
