The growth and raise of civilizations is linked to the development of local and rural communities. The development of these communities go through different stages, from pastoral to agricultural communities and then turn into productive industrial societies. The basis of this transformation depends on the stability of water supply to help these communities in settlement, and then working on establishment of major development projects, such as irrigation and animal production projects. Development of such projects contribute significantly to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This could be achieved in terms of new jobs offered, as well as sufficient food production, through the adequate food industry, animal production programs, and exports and trading activities. Sustainable water supply to rural communities depends on different options such as pumping groundwater, diverting river water, and through rainwater harvesting projects. Water sector is the cornerstone of sustainable development for rural communities, on which the lifestyle changes through establishment of schools and health centers, and the society gradually moves to a better position in terms of economy, education, health and security.
