Water Resources
When planners use the phrase "water resources," they often mean water used and managed for people: drinking water, water that supports fisheries and farms, water used in manufacturing, and water for recreation. Planners must also manage waters that can become problems if not handled properly, such as stormwater runoff and sewage.
Most water resource issues can be classified as problems of quantity or of quality. Following are a few examples from the ARROW region.
