ABSTRACT
Scarcity and sustainability
of water resources are the most important problem amongst the major problems
that human faces in the present and will increasingly face in
the future. The current water crisis is complex and a result of several
factors. Sustainable management of water resources is imperative as water
scarcity is becoming a development constraint, impeding the economic growth of
many countries in the globe. Environmental ethics can be a valuable tool for
sustainable resource management in any region in the globe. Recognizing water
as finite and vulnerable involves a holistic approach, linking social and
economic with ecosystem protection, and should be applied across a whole
catchments area or groundwater aquifer. This holistic approach is an important
implication of the finite nature of water.
