Water importance, scarcity and management constitute a continuous and intense debate on scientific research. Several knowledge circles direct efforts to understanding such related issues and take part on solutions to associated conflicts. The main goal pursued within this working paper is an analytical visualization of world scientific research on Water Resources Management. The technical orientation and procedures method approach intended to be a bibliometry, carried out using evaluative (productivity assessment and metrics) and relational (co-authorship and co-occurrence) techniques. 358 publications were selected and processed, having Web of Science as the chosen knowledge resource stream. Results construct a description of world production - such as it’s evolution, countries and publications, considering impact measures - as well as an analysis of relationship and established structure of research clusters by authors, countries and organizations, pointing to a composition of subordinated themes within the research field. The H factor (H-index) points to 41 publications that can be considered as area reference. 2014 was the stable achievement point of current publications levels. North American and Chinese publications represent almost 40% of the total production. It was found the existence of 12 terminological research clusters aggregated from 126 terms of greater relevance.
