The escalating impacts of climate change, characterized by erratic precipitation patterns, prolonged droughts, and rising global temperatures, have underscored the urgent need for sustainable water management practices to ensure water security and ecosystem resilience. Sustainable water management in this context involves an integrated approach that emphasizes efficient water use, conservation, protection of water resources, and adaptive governance strategies. It encompasses practices such as rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, efficient irrigation techniques like drip and sprinkler systems, and the restoration of natural water bodies and wetlands. Additionally, the implementation of policies that promote equitable water distribution, community participation, and the adoption of advanced technologies for water monitoring and forecasting are pivotal in addressing water scarcity and mitigating climate-induced risks. These practices not only aim to secure water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes but also enhance the sustainability of freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity. By fostering adaptive capacity, resilience, and sustainable use, such integrated water management strategies play a critical role in safeguarding both human societies and natural ecosystems against the growing threats posed by climate change.
