WATER COOPERATION –ISSUES AND CHALLENGES 1. Introduction Population growth and higher living standards will cause ever increasing demands for good quality municipal and industrial water‚ and ever increasing sewage flows. At the same time‚ more and more irrigation water will be needed to meet increasing demands for food for growing populations. This will require intensive management and international cooperation. Since almost all liquid fresh water on the planet occurs underground‚ groundwater will

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans‚ aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutantsare directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual speciesand populations‚ but also to the natural biological communities. Introduction[edit]
