Participatory water management

Participatory water management is an approach that involves local communities, stakeholders, and authorities in the decision-making process regarding water resources. This collaborative method encourages everyone affected—like farmers, residents, and businesses—to share their knowledge, concerns, and insights to create sustainable and equitable water solutions. By engaging diverse voices, participatory water management aims to address local needs, improve water quality, and ensure that resources are used efficiently and fairly. This inclusive process enhances governance, builds community trust, and leads to better outcomes for both people and the environment.
