Local water user associations
Local water user associations are community-based organizations formed by people who share the same water source, such as farmers or residents relying on a river, well, or irrigation system. They collectively manage and oversee the use, maintenance, and allocation of water resources within their area. These associations ensure efficient, fair, and sustainable use of water, resolve disputes, and coordinate activities like repair and conservation efforts. By working together, members help maintain a reliable water supply, improve management practices, and support community needs while promoting sustainable water use.
