Sustainable management of water resources in arid areas

Abstract

Water is an essential resource for human survival, production and socio-economic development, essential for all forms of life, and essential for the maintenance of healthy ecosystems. Due to the continuous change of climate and the continuous growth of population, economy, region and other factors, water resources are becoming more and more scarce. In arid and semi-arid regions, the coupling and interaction between water resources security, energy security, food security and ecological security are becoming more complex, conflicts and contradictions are gradually emerging or intensifying, and uncertainty and risk levels are increasing. Water utilization and management methods are also becoming increasingly serious and complex, which requires new and innovative approaches to conserve and use water wisely. The sustainable management of water resources has always been the focus of research on water resources in the world, and there is much research on water resources management in major forums. This paper uses the method of review to analyze the relevant articles on water resources management, and puts forward more effective methods for sustainable water resources management, and provides suggestions for follow-up research on sustainable water resources management.
