The need for water, a vital resource, is exploding as consequence of the population growth and increased agricultural demands. This is especially true in developing countries where access to driving water is decreasing. Poor management, galloping urbanization, ill-advised policies and pollution worsen a situation that is already detrimental to public health. Whether it is in Egypt, China, India, Bolivia or Senegal, the problems are about the same. The imbalance continues to deepen with increasing needs for water in the large urban centres, which are developing at a staggering rate, tho the detriment of requirements for water for agriculture and farmers.
