Résumé : |
Water is vital to al l forms of lif e on earth, from the simplest of living organisms to the most complex of huma n systems, such as conurbations like Ne w York, Cairo and Bangkok. Lack of fresh water to drink, for use in industry and agriculture and for the multitude of other purposes where water i s essential, i s a limiting factor—perhaps the most important factor— hindering development in man y parts of the globe. As populations increase, the deman d for water grows. And , while the world's fresh-water resources are massive, they are not only unevenly distributed in both space and time but also have a finite limit in terms of practical utilization. So the shortages currently affecting man y areas are likely to spread, becoming far more prevalent during the next century.

And , while the world's fresh-water resources are massive, they are not only unevenly distributed in both space and time but also have a finite limit in terms of practical utilization. So the shortages currently affecting man y areas are likely to spread, becoming far more prevalent during the next century. In man y regions these shortages are likely to be exacerbated by climate change. |
