Freshwater resources are vital for Freshwater resources are vital for meeting basic human needs. Many health meeting basic human needs. Many health problems are related to poor or limited problems are related to poor or limited water quality. This water shortage is water quality. This water shortage is expected to worsen as a result of several expected to worsen as a result of several factors including population growth, factors including population growth, pollution of surface water sources. pollution of surface water sources.
