The relationship between land use and water quality is significant as certain land management practices can either enhance or degrade water conditions. Urbanization, agriculture, and deforestation can lead to increased runoff, pollution, and sedimentation in water bodies, negatively impacting aquatic ecosystems and drinking water sources. Conversely, implementing sustainable land use practices—such as erosion control, wetland preservation, and integrated water management—can improve water quality. Thus, understanding this relationship is essential for promoting sustainable land use that safeguards water resources for future generations.
