Water Pollution Control - A Guide to the Use of Water Quality Management Principles
Description
Water pollution control is clearly one of the most critical of those challenges. Without
urgent and properly directed action, developing countries face mounting problems of
disease, environmental degradation and economic stagnation, as precious water
resources become more and more contaminated. At the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro
in June 1992, world leaders recognised the crucial importance of protecting freshwater
resources. Chapter 18 of Agenda 21 sees "effective water pollution prevention and
control programmes" as key elements of national sustainable development plans.
