Managing Water in the Processes of Global Climate Change

Water is an inevitable source on which all living creatures' very survival depend and also affect their lives directly. It is not just a biological need for human beings but also the very economic, social and cultural life itself. Unfortunately, water which has a vital importance for life is limited around the world. However, the increase in the world population and the economic developments accelerate the demand for water and threaten the water reserve levels which are already close to the limit values. Today, current water resources are under the pressure of the different factors such as increase in population, global warming, agriculture, industrialization and urbanization. Water resources have become unusable due to the pollution caused by industrialisation and urbanization. This situation shows that an efficient management system must be established. Important developments have been taking place for this reason. Demands for privatization of water supply services has been emphasised increasingly. This study aims to examine how water which is inevitable for life leads to crisis in the processes of global warming and climate changes and what kind of proposals have been offered to solve this crisis.
