Social issues related to water resources in logistics

challenges and sustainable approaches

Abstract

This study aims to address social issues related to water in the context of logistics, considering the optimization of product distribution, efficiency of supply chains, ethics, and sustainability. The study utilizes a methodological approach that combines qualitative analyses to understand the dynamics between logistics and water resources. It takes into consideration the environmental and social impacts of logistical operations, including global water scarcity, climate change, and water source contamination. The study emphasizes that water is a resource that goes beyond geographical and economic boundaries, with both local and global implications. Effective management of this resource requires a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach that considers not only the operational demands of logistics but also its role in preserving water resources for future generations. Therefore, striking a balance between efficient logistics and environmental responsibility is crucial to address the challenges of water scarcity in the modern world. The research underscores the importance of reevaluating logistics from a perspective of sustainability and social responsibility, with a focus on the imperative of preserving water resources. It emphasizes that logistic efficiency must align with the protection of natural resources and the promotion of social well-being. Understanding the interactions between logistics and water resources is essential for mitigating negative impacts and contributing to a more sustainable future.
