Use Of Digital Knowledge Sharing Platform Like Wikis On Sharing Of Water-Efficient Techniques And Methods For Minimizing Water Scarcity

Abstract: Water scarcity is one of the major environmental challenges affecting communities, agriculture, industries, and sustainable development. The effective sharing of knowledge about water-efficient techniques and conservation methods can play an important role in reducing water wastage and promoting sustainable water management. This research focuses on the use of digital knowledge-sharing platforms, particularly Wiki-based platforms, for collecting, organizing, sharing, and accessing information related to water-efficient techniques and methods for minimizing water scarcity. The study aims to examine how a collaborative digital platform can enable users, researchers, farmers, water- management organizations, and communities to contribute and access practical knowledge about water conservation, efficient irrigation, rainwater harvesting, wastewater reuse, and other water-saving practices. The proposed approach involves designing a structured knowledge-sharing platform where information can be collaboratively created, updated, categorized, and accessed by users. The platform can improve the availability and accessibility of reliable information while encouraging knowledge exchange and community participation. The study highlights that digital knowledge- sharing platforms can support awareness, collaboration, and the adoption of water-efficient practices. The proposed Wiki-based approach can therefore serve as a useful digital resource for sharing knowledge and supporting sustainable water management and efforts to minimize water scarcity.
