Description:	Water is often argued to be essential to life, but in our everyday activities, we usually take it for granted. Natural water resources have a limited capacity, and in many cases, especially in arid climates, cannot provide for an ever-increasing demand. In addition, they are subject to pollution stress due to the return flows of used water. The restoration of a polluted water body is a very costly and difficult to enforce exercise, even for the resources and capacity of a developed country. Most developing countries face serious and urgent problems, related to poverty alleviation and the resolution of different types of social conflicts, and often, the protection of water resources’ quality is neglected, or the authorities lack the financial, technical and human resources to control and restore it. For all these reasons, the implementation of water pollution prevention measures, based on proper information regarding the specific site conditions, should have priority during the development and implementation of water resources management plans and strategies. It is intended that this book will make a contribution in this direction
