Strategies for sustainable water resources management in water scarce regions in developing countries

Some strategies for sustainable water resource management for water scarce regions in developing countries are recommended as follows: (a) to transfer the focal point of water resource development from engineering water conservancy to resource water conservancy; (b) to make rational strategic visions and operational plans for water resource development; (c) to set up a water-saving society; (d) to protect water resources and to reconstruct water environments; (e) to construct conjunctive regional water supply systems; (f) to bestow reasonable priority on and to heighten reliability of water supply for different users; and (g) to intensify capacity building for sustainable water resource management.
