Abstract

Introduction: Water is a vital but finite resource due to population growth, urbanization, climate change and pollution. Water management is crucial for the future of humanity, and knowledge management (KM) can be a powerful tool to improve it. Methodology: An investigation is proposed to provide new guidelines for methodologies, protocols and technologies for water management in the public and institutional sectors. Public and institutional policies, infrastructure, personnel and their skills, and benefits for communities and institutions will be analyzed. The search will be carried out in scientific dissemination databases between 2002 and 2024, using analytical, deduction-induction and historical-comparative methods. Results: GC has become a fundamental tool for the hydraulic sector in the 21st century, improving decision making, efficiency, productivity, innovation and collaboration. Discussion: There are still challenges to the effective application of KM in all regions of the world. It is necessary to strengthen the capacities of water professionals in matters of GC and guarantee access to information and technological advances. Conclusions: GC is essential for water management in the 21st century. The proposed research will contribute to improving water management practices in the public and institutional sectors.
