Whether industrial, agricultural or domestic pollution has continued to degrade water quality in Europe.

These imbalances pose serious environmental impacts within ecosystems and constitute a direct threat to public health. This situation is especially worrying in case of serious damage. Also, water used for industrial or urban origin contributes to excessive levels of phosphates. Despite the numerous European directives, that have reduced pollution, its level is still too high in many areas. Despite the regulations, in many regions exceeds the critical level. Measurements To combat water pollution treatment is necessary agricultural effluent, industrial and domestic. The whole of Europe is concerned by these phenomena. The ecological function It Is an element of the ecosystem and social asset, is carrying out water harvesting. The function performed by the water flowing distributes chemicals as important to life as phosphorus or carbon dioxide. The ecological role of water in its two fundamental aspects: a) Maintenance of ecosystems is a common respect for which must be reconciled with the sustainable development of human activities. There are geographic areas affected by water scarcity. It should therefore be provided by external water input or modification of their production structures. Water scarcity affects all continents, nearly a fifth of the world population lives in scarcity. Water scarcity is one of the major challenges that are facing many societies around the world. The use and water consumption grew twice the population growth rates. Scarcity is a phenomenon not only natural but also caused by the action of man. This distributed unevenly, is wasted, polluted and unsustainably managed. Water productivity There is nothing that the relationship between the volume of food produced with respect to water use. However, despite some concerns, your productivity will increase. The increase in water consumption in agriculture has dissolution of 800 km3, while world population has doubled to 6.000 million.

Care organizations of the water Natural resources have their "keepers." This organization has no-profit, and its main function is to collect public and private partners. Another important international organizations, is the world's water counsel to advocate solutions to the problems of water resource management. The main sources of water pollution can be classified as urban, industrial and agricultural. Urban pollution: is formed by wastewater from households and commercial establishments. Characteristics of wastewater industrials can differ widely both within and between companies. Agriculture, commercial livestock and poultry farms are the source of many organic and inorganic pollutants in surface water and groundwater. Citarum River (Indonesia). This river may seem at first glance a pool of garbage; it is actually the main source of water for agriculture and water supply. Yamuna river (India): One of the most polluted rivers in the world. Yellow River (China) is the second longest river in China and is the main water supply for millions of people in northern China. But the river is heavily polluted due to oil spills.
