Water bodies refer to natural or artificial bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and wetlands. Water management refers to the process of managing the use, distribution, and conservation of water resources to meet the needs of society and the environment. That have been important themes in tamil literature for centuries, with ancient texts emphasizing their cultural and societal significance, and more recent literature highlighting the need for sustainable water management practices.
