Description

No sector of the society is value free and immune to ethical consideration, water sector is not an
exception. Questions of access and deprivation underlie most water decisions. Current water resources
management approaches are facing various ethical dilemmas. The purpose of this paper is to focus
some key ethical issues related to water, which are crucial to water resources development and
management. One of the future challenges for water professionals is to find out logical linkages
between water policies and ethics to achieve an effective, efficient and sustainable water resources
development and management.
