ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The theme of the chapter is ambitious, in that it tries to understand Islamic water ethics within the general framework of environmental ethics and apply it as a tool for sustainable water resources management. The approach is cultural in that it propagates social learning through bottom-up education and communication functions, and at the same time promotes top-down high level applied research through industry and technology participation. The chapter examines how best Islamic water ethics can contribute to finding solutions for the current and future water challenges. The central question is how we can apply new tools and techniques emanating from Islamic water ethics for promoting the general ethical principles of stakeholder participation in decision making and for knowledge transfer among water institutions and organization.
