Abstract: 
The global water crisis threatens not only the availability of potable water, but also the supply of fresh water for industrial and agricultural use. In order to satisfy the rising demand for water, it is essential that the basic water supply chain be managed sustainably. This study seeks to investigate current practises in the administration of the raw water supply chain and to identify areas where innovation can be implemented to enhance sustainability. The research will consist of a comprehensive literature evaluation followed by qualitative interviews with subject-matter experts. The literature review will investigate the current state of raw water supply chain management, as well as the obstacles and constraints confronted by stakeholders. The interviews will provide valuable insight into the implementation of sustainable raw water supply chain management, including the application of technology and best practises. The findings of this study will be useful for water resource administrators, policymakers, and industries dependent on a constant supply of natural water. The results will also inform the development of innovative solutions to enhance the sustainability of the administration of the natural water supply chain. This study's ultimate objective is to contribute to the global effort to assure a sustainable fresh water supply for future generations.
