Water User Associations (WUAs)

Water User Associations (WUAs) are community-based organizations formed by farmers and landholders who share a water source, such as a river or irrigation system. They coordinate the use, management, and maintenance of water infrastructure to ensure fair and efficient distribution among members. WUAs promote collective decision-making, resource sustainability, and improve water use efficiency, often working with government agencies to manage water rights and policies. By organizing users, they help prevent conflicts, reduce wastage, and support sustainable agriculture practices, benefiting both the community and the environment.
