Water is an indispensable blessing for all life. It is one of the most important elements of quality life. Conscious and sustainable use of water without waste is always very important. Water and women have been considered as a source of life in most civilizations throughout history. Gender and water are interconnected issues. Women have fundamental duties in the supply, management and protection of water. The supply of sufficient, usable water and its sustainable use are always very important for the basic needs of people, especially for women. It is important to summarize what is known and information about water with women who have more duties and needs in the supply and use of water, to generate ideas about current discussions around these themes and put them into practice. Women, generally have more water-related responsibilities than men and are more affected by water stress. When the literature on the subject is examined, it is seen that there is a lack of gender-segregated data on the effects of water policies and disagreements on how gender and development should be theorized. In addition, women are not given the desired level of active role and responsibility in policies that will best provide access to safe and sufficient water. The results show that the inclusion of women and gender issues are still not self-evident within water management. This study focuses on the place and importance of water in human life, especially in women's life. It is expected that this study will shed light on similar studies on the subject, raise awareness and contribute to the solution of problems related to water.
