All life relies on an essential substance which is water. Where there is water there is life and where water is scarce, life has to struggle because it has no or very limited alternative. Therefore, the question is: how to deal with that no replacement? Water use is a complex issue and involves many actors from local communities to international bodies. Water ethics is being increasingly discussed, especially socioeconomic aspects and their integration with policies and practices of water resource management. Although in1992, there was an International Conference which was held in Dublin in principles three and four stated that: âWomen play a central part in the provision, management and safeguarding of waterâ, with âWater has an economic value in all its competing uses and should be recognized as an economic goodâ. Water consumption and policy is also an intensively discussed subject. Many researchers try to find an answer regarding the proper use and value of water consumption. This paper presents the particularities of water resources in the rural areas of Kurdistan Region (North of Iraq). During 17^th of June and 15^th of September, 2012, a research project was conducted in the rural areas of the Kurdistan Region, taking into consideration the precipitation zone so it can be clearly distinguished among the three regions of Kurdistan. The research method used was a survey based on questionnaires. The total number of questionnaires distributed among the farmers was 236 in rural areas of Kurdistan Region. The use of water for irrigation, livestock etc, is estimated as being the cause of more than three quarter of total withdrawal. It is necessary to mention that in the Kurdistan Region there is no regulation regarding the water consumption for rural areas and the water scarcity in the area imposes to adopt a proper legislation regarding the water pricing on one hand, and the ethical principles of water consumption on the other hand. Previous studies revealed the fact that women play a major role in managing the domestic water. Based on this it can be stated that people from rural areas have major problems regarding the water availability and proper measures should be taken.
