Due to the fluctuation of rainfall phenomena, the important water resources allocation and its usages are confronting in Korea. As populations and economic activities expand, conflicts over existing supplies are becoming more serious. Though the basic allocation issues are being confronted, the management of water shortage or drought is receiving little attention. But it is being increasingly realized that water can no longer be considered to be a cheap source, which can be profligately used or abused without noticeable consequences for the future of mankind.
This paper analyses the complex task of water management for sustainable development, divided into structural and non-structural measures. The principal measures for drought management can be summarized as follows ;
1. The construction of global river channel network for reasonable water allocation and flood control.
2. The development of groundwater as a new resources and water quality improvement.
3. The integration of relevant laws and regulations in water resources management.
4. The augmentation of fiscal scale for pertinent accomplishment of disaster prevention policy.
5. The establishment of National Research Center for construction of reasonable policy and techniques in disaster prevention.
