Water Resources Management
Water resource management has often resulted in numerous man-made wetlands such as reservoirs and paddy fields that have very different functions and values than natural wetlands, and are in no way a substitute for natural wetlands, particularly floodplain wetlands.

Water Resources:
Water resource management includes consideration of all of the above disciplines of hydrology. Water supplies are allocated and diverted to a range of agricultural, municipal, industrial, hydroelectrical, and ecological needs. Some of these water uses are consumptive, removing water from the system (e.g., crop irrigation). Other types of water use return the water to a river, lake, or to the ground, but the water often requires treatment to restore it to a natural state; sometimes this is not possible (e.g., industrial tailings ponds).
The balancing act involved in water management includes a broad range of stakeholders and includes water policy and legal experts. Hydrologists have essential input to these complex and sometimes confrontational deliberations and negotiations. They also play a central role in applied hydrology – engineering of major waterworks to manage water. Water distribution systems have been a hallmark of civilization since Babylon, and the modern stamp on this includes major hydroelectric dams and reservoirs, urban waterworks, and water treatment facilities.
These and other tools help governments to manage water resources in a way that serves societal and ecological needs. However, water resource management is one of the world’s greatest challenges due to competition for limited resources, regional disparities in water supply and affluence, mounting global water demand, aquifer depletion, and pollution- and climate-change induced water stress. Integrated sustainable water resource management is an area requiring innovation, progress, and international cooperation in the coming decades.
