Résumé : | Nowadays, water pollution is already a serious problem in the majority of developing countries: a large percentage of wastewater is untreated, and this is directly discharged into water courses, irrigation canals and drainage ditches. Increased pollution from industrial and domestic sources, if allowed to grow unchecked, is likely to reduce the amount of water available for various purposes in future. Protection of water resources, if not receiving a priority consideration, will be a major cause for water scarcity in some regions, the total economic and health costs to the country due to unchecked pollution would be unbearable. The present situation calls for strategies based on a new water awareness, founded on basic understanding of the particular role played by water for life and civilization. Those strategies have to address the multicause environmental challenges emerging from water scarcity, water pollution and water -related- land fertility degradation respectively and have to be multi-sectorial in character with an integrated approach to land productivity and water resources |
