Towards An Analysis Of The Nature Of Water Security From An Economic Perspective نحو تحليل ماهية الأمن المائي من منظور اقتصادي

Abstract

In this study, we define water security as the availability of excellent and sufficient water for health, production, and life requirements. Without global water security, it is impossible to achieve sustainable development. Concerns about the intrinsic value of water and its importance to human existence and health contribute to a water-safe world. Water security is now a major concern around the world. As a result, in light of the obstacles and complications that have accompanied the country's enormous changes, it is vital to investigate the topic of water security and the amount of its contribution to sustainable development, as well as to explain the means of maintaining it. In addition, an explanation of how to deal with water difficulties that may arise in some countries where water is an important supply and the rest of the state's activities rely on it is provided, in addition to the magnitude of its impact on the national economy. Water is also vital to humans since it is one of the beginnings of life and one of the secrets without which life cannot exist. There are several water sources throughout the world. Egypt's water sources include the Nile River, groundwater, rainwater, sanitary and agricultural sewage, and seawater desalination. These sources are classified as conventional (such as the Nile River, groundwater, and rain water) and non-traditional (such as waste water and sea water desalination).
