Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Water resource management is a critical issue in many Nigerian communities, particularly in Yola North LGA, Adamawa State. Access to clean and sustainable water supplies is essential for public health, agriculture, and socio-economic development. Public relations (PR) plays an essential role in advocating for water conservation, raising awareness of water management policies, and fostering community participation in sustainable water usage practices. PR strategies such as community outreach, stakeholder engagement, and media campaigns have proven effective in addressing water-related challenges globally and locally (Eze & Yakubu, 2024). Through strategic communication, PR can influence behavior change, promote policy acceptance, and mobilize resources for water resource management initiatives.

Despite the importance of water resource management, Yola North LGA faces challenges such as water scarcity, pollution, and poor infrastructure. These issues are compounded by a lack of awareness and community engagement.
