Abstract

The problems of water shortage are triggering societies worldwide. The United Nations declared in 1993 the era for water within which Integrated Water Resources Development was sponsored widely and took education as a tool for water resources sustainable development ‘’ESD’’. The ESD is implemented as a change project in el Helba area, an arid village in western White Nile state, where stakeholders are the ever socially active persons. The results were amazing when the root society was motivated to collect and use water rationally. The expected results are to achieve somehow water security within rural villages in arid Sudan
