Explaining the dimensions of Islamic jurisprudence and ethics in water management

The importance of water has always been emphasized by the religion of Islam. The correct use of this existential element has been emphasized in several verses and hadiths. Given that the issue of water is the cause of many national and transnational conflicts today، so the issue of water management، especially in countries such as Iran، which are facing water stress، seems very necessary. The present study intends to explain the principles of jurisprudence and ethics in the plans and development plans related to water management. This paper intends to answer the following question: "what principles of jurisprudence and ethics would be considered in development plans and projects related to water management?" This research is a fundamental and developmental in terms of purpose and used descriptive-analytic method. Also، in order to collect data، the method of documentary-library studies is used. The research findings are first inferred by qualitative content analysis method and then using logical reasoning method. The results of the research show that if the principles and rules of Islamic jurisprudence and ethics are considered in the programs and laws related to water management in the country، many harms and challenges in the water sector can be overcome. This requires the development of a comprehensive plan with special considerations of jurisprudence and Islamic ethics related to water management and، of course، its strict implementation.
