چکیده

This study explores the relationship between water resource management and virtual water in terms of maximization to get the best desired results. Water resource management with regard to the water crisis as ―the huge environmental challenge‖ is defined as the process of ensuring that the water resources are not misused and depleted. On the other hand, virtual water is defined as the amount or volume of water that is required for the production of a given commodity or service, though it is widely employed in relation to water needed for the production of agricultural produces. The study aims at coming up with a model that can maximize water resource management in based on relation to virtual water trade approach. This will help in answering the research questions. The study will mainly employ the use of secondary data collection methods. The nature of the study required the application of the inductive approach to research, and come up with the accurate and relevant information. This will be the best method as the collection of primary data would be impractical because of visiting all the regions that are arid and semi-arid. The findings show that the adoption of virtual water concept is highly significant, regarding the conservation of water resources in the areas that are highly affected by water scarcity. It also promotes trade and the specialization in the production of products that are best suited for the conditions in a given country.
