recursos hídricos (water resources)

Recursos hídricos, or water resources, refer to the supply of water available for various uses such as drinking, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems. They include surface water (rivers, lakes, reservoirs), groundwater (aquifers), and intangible sources like rain. Proper management of water resources is essential to ensure sustainable availability, protect natural habitats, and support economic activities. As global demand increases and pollution and climate change impact water supplies, responsible stewardship of these resources becomes crucial for health, environmental integrity, and overall well-being.
