Water is a basic need not only for drinking, but also for food production and preparation, care of domestic animals, personal hygiene, cleaning, washing and waste disposal. In most societies, women have traditionally primary responsibility for domestic water management. Water management for farming, by supplying irrigation water and/or removing excess water by drainage, is needed to improve agricultural production.
