Abstract
Education is a fundamental aspect of coping with water scarcity. The focus of the discussion is to consider how attitudes can be changed and how an educational program may be established. Education is meant in the widest sense, aimed at children and youths, women, with their role in the family and the community, farmers and industrial water users, managers, operational and maintenance personnel, educators, and other professionals.
