Note
Water management is a complex system that requires careful consideration of multiple factors. The effectiveness of water management strategies depends on balancing economic, environmental, and social aspects. These elements are interconnected and influence each other in both direct and indirect ways.
Economic decisions affect environmental outcomes and social equity
Social considerations shape policy implementation and community acceptance
Analogy
Think of water management like conducting an orchestra - each section (economic, environmental, social) must play its part in harmony with the others to create a successful performance.
Note
The success of any water management strategy depends on how well these three aspects are balanced and integrated.
