        abstract = {Water scarcity represents one of the most pressing existential threats of the 21st century, impeding sustainable development, exacerbating geopolitical tensions, and endangering billions of lives. Rooted in a complex web of environmental, socio-economic, and institutional factors—including population growth, urbanization, climate volatility, and inefficient water governance—this crisis demands urgent, innovative, and scalable solutions. In recent years, technological advancements have redefined the possibilities of water management. This paper delves into the multifactorial causes and far-reaching consequences of water scarcity while presenting a comprehensive analysis of transformative technologies including smart irrigation systems, IoT-enabled water monitoring, artificial intelligence-based demand forecasting, next-generation desalination technologies, and advanced wastewater recycling. By fusing these innovations with robust policy frameworks and participatory governance, this paper advocates for a new paradigm of resilience and sustainability in water resource management.},
