J1. 1. Water Resources: Quantity and Quality Water pollution, together with loss of biodiversity, climate change, energy and socio- economic issues, is one of the main threats and challenges humanity faces today. Human activities and human-related substances and wastes introduced into rivers, lakes, groundwater aquifers and the oceans modify the environmental Water Quality and make huge quantities of Water unsuitable for various uses. This is the case not only for human-related uses such as drinking, bathing, agricultural irrigation and industrial production but also for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems for which clean, fresh Water is a prerequisite for life.
