Abstract
Water is needed in all aspects of life. The general objective is to make sure that adequate supplies of water of good quality are maintained for the entire population of this planet, while preserving the hydrological, biological and chemical functions of ecosystems, adapting human activities within the capacity limits of nature and combating vectors of water-related diseases. Innovative technologies, including the improvement of indigenous technologies are needed to fully utilize limited water resources and to safeguard those resources against pollution.
