Abstract

The continued increase in the urban population results in the need for a large amount of water while the water supply is limited. The problem of water insecurity is a new threat that affects human well-being and ecosystems. Currently, many countries around the world are experiencing and tend to increase in violence. The water security concept is one approach to help manage water and create fairness for water users in all sectors. Especially in urban areas where water demand is high for the consumption of the population and other activities such as tourism, industry, etc. This article attempts to explain the origin and importance of the concept of water security and its application. In urban areas where the dynamics and dimensions of water use are varied It is likely to be affected by high levels of water insecurity. The aforementioned review of the literature indicates that Thailand lacks research on water security at the urban level. And the concept of water security is an interesting new paradigm in the study of urban water use in Thailand that is appropriate for many situations.
