Of all the renewable
resources of the planet, fresh water is the most important. Water resources must respond to multiple demands: mouth water, sanitation, food, energy, industry and preserve ecosystems. This is really complex. Water resources are finite and their distribution on the planet is not proportional to the number of inhabitants.
Unlike oil and most commodities, water is not only a
resource that has value only when it is extracted and made available
for use by humans. Fundamentally fresh water is a life
support.Demographic growth and the expansion of economic activities are placing huge demands on our water resources.
The international community in the last
decade was an increased awareness of the need to eradicate poverty
and consequently attempting a sustainable management of water
resources. Concern about this resource is reflected by the number of
forums set to discuss the issue from the international down to the
local.
