Conflicts over access and demand for water are only expected to intensify in the coming years, leading to chilling predictions that we could experience wars over access to water in the not too distant future. Achieving a sustainable balance between supply and demand and making sure we have enough water – of the right quality – for the purpose for which it is needed is key to achieving water security for our growing world. However, with the judicious application of?smart technologies, sound policy-making, workable regulations, a collaboration between the public and private sector, and an appreciation of the real cost of water, it is possible to achieve this goal.

O gestor de recursos hídricos é responsável pela água, pensando na importancia e dificuldade desse cargo podemos lembrar que já vimos várias vezes na 'tv' o que a falta da água causa. E também já vimos acidentes com a drenagem, falta de irriga??o, enchentes, energia hidrelétrica entre outros. é uma responsabilidade muito grande, e se ouve muito pouco de como se tornar um.
