The basic aim of this paper is to present the existing conditions and problems of water resources management in Greece. Water demand has increased tremendously over the past 30 years. Despite adequate precipitation, water imbalance is often experienced, due to temporal and regional variations of the precipitation, the increased water demand during the summer months and the difficulty of transporting water due to the mountainous terrain. Integration of reclaimed wastewater originating from the wastewater treatment plant effluents into the water resources management is proposed. This plan exhibits the potential for reducing the pollution loads entering sea or inland waters, while at the same time providing water for irrigation.

Highly concentrated precipitation during the rainy season poses challenges to the South Korean water resources management in efficiently storing and redistributing water resources. Under the new climate regime, water resources management is likely to become more challenging with regards to water-related disaster risk and deterioration of water quality. To alleviate such issues by adjusting management plans, this study examined the impact of climate change on the streamflow in the Bocheongcheon basin of the Geumgang river. A globally accepted hydrologic model, the HEC-HMS model, was chosen for the simulation. By the calibration and the validation processes, the model performance was evaluated to range between “satisfactory” and “very good”. The calibrated model was then used to simulate the future streamflow over six decades from 2041 to 2100 under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The results indicated significant increase in the future streamflow of the study site in all months and seasons over the simulation period. Intensification of seasonal differences and fluctuations was projected under RCP 8.5, implying a challenge for water resources managers to secure stable sources of clean water and to prevent water-related disasters. The analysis of the simulation results was applied to suggest possible local adaptive water resources management policy.

Ecohydrology is an approach to integrated water resources management that offers a sustainable development approach in understanding the environment and water resources systems. In this case the conditions where clean water and food can be created to reduce the number of stunting in an area. The concept of ecohydrology can also prevent the spread of disease through water. The introduction of this concept is intended to reduce stunting and overcome the lack of clean water in the future. In this case the concept of Ecohydrology is offered with the existing water purification plan to produce clean water that is ready to use and utilizes materials that are easily available and have low prices. Keywords: Stunting, ecohydrology concept

Construction projects need to be executed to a prefixed time schedule and with the estimated cost according to the plan among all these before starting the project all we need to see was water resources if the resources are not available we cannot start the project. The research was developed in water resources management the techniques, limitations, the future purpose work the overview of all the methods need to be covered. Business have increased now a days to get the additional advantage to the construction project all we need to do was select the area which have surrounding water supplies, underground water level, occurrence of the rainfall all these conditions need to be considered before the construction of the project. While the construction of the project water treatment plants has to be constructed the water used for the household purpose can be reuse by fallowing the treatment techniques. Ground water recharge techniques also have to be implementing to increase the level. The water resource management gives extra benefit to the project the initial cost of these treatment plants will be more but in the future there will be more benefited. This paper describes and finds issues in the water resource management in construction projects and also taken many options of engineers, project managers, people who are living in the local area, site engineers, and irrigation officers. The gathered information from the questionnaire survey is analyzed in AHP Model and developed the importance of the alternatives derives from the issues. This will be helpful for the employees of construction project managers and also to the people who are wasting more water the techniques need to fallow and how to use them and how to treat them how to save water will be considered.
