Indigenous water management refers to traditional approaches to accessing, collecting, treating, or distributing water that predate globalized industrial and capital- and energy-intensive methods that have spread primarily from Europe and North America. When referred to in the context of development, these methods are portrayed either as a historical accounting of natural resource management or at times as alternative, or techniques to be employed in support of, methods associated with modernity.
