Groundwater pollution is interrelated with the pollution of other environmental media (surface water, soils, atmosphere).

13. Pollution also contributes to water scarcity.

e) the prevention and control of water pollution through, inter alia, the establishment of effluent and water quality standards.

We piled enormous amounts of pollution into the air and into the water.

Programme Component E.6 Mitigating Industrial Water Pollution for Poor Communities

Livestock is also one of the biggest culprits in land degradation, air and water pollution, water shortages and loss of biodiversity.

These priorities include water scarcity and pollution sanitation, safe drinking water and health gender mainstreaming in water and sanitation integrated water resources management transboundary water issues and disaster reduction.

(a) Limiting environmental pollution and desertification and rationalization of the management of water resources and energy.

The land of the former base also poses a problem of soil and ground water pollution.

Rapid population growth, unsustainable water use and increasing pollution levels further contribute to water scarcity problems in the region.

These priorities include water scarcity and pollution sanitation, safe drinking water and health gender mainstreaming in water and sanitation and integrated water resources management and disaster reduction.

Health and environmental impacts generally encompass air pollution ranging from indoor air pollution to that occurring at the local and regional levels, climate change, ecosystem degradation, water pollution and radiation hazards.

Examples of such costs (often referred to as quot external costs quot ) can include those relating to the negative impacts of air pollution and water pollution on the environment.

Few Parties considered reducing water pollution as an option for adapting to climate change.

The costs have been tremendous water pollution, all the things you know about, destruction of our habitats.

There is also a need to intensify efforts to develop water and land related technologies for irrigation and water desalination, using solar energy technologies, and to develop pollution control measures, including integrated programmes for pest management and the control of chemical pollution.

7.3 States should devise regulations and policies to control pollution of water resources by all persons and organizations, both public and private, including surveillance, disincentives, pollution penalties and assistance with compliance.

An environmental data centre has been established to collect data on air, water and soil pollution.

Some 70 per cent of common illnesses in the area stem from water pollution,48 and traces of polio have been detected in the Gaza Strip water supply.49

UN Water has defined a number of thematic initiatives for its work over the Decade, which include coping with water scarcity and pollution sanitation, safe drinking water and health gender mainstreaming in water and sanitation integrated water resources management transboundary water issues and disaster risk reduction.

Conversely, land degradation, desertification, pollution and unequal access to water and productive ecosystems diminished human well being.

Further cooperation will be provided in the area of water management, since industrial effluents are a major source of pollution to rivers.

(l) Environmental purity To minimize the pollution of air, water and land and the generation of waste by tourism enterprises and visitors.

Core causes of water sources pollution are related to human activities, such as dumping liquid waste materials from industry and communities.

297. Previously, it had in most cases been possible to solve groundwater pollution problems through a reorganization of the water supply.

In fact, there could well be less water than there is now, owing to pollution and climate change. So India will need huge increases in water efficiency.

The aim of monitoring the quality of drinking water is to make note of instances of pollution in a timely way and to protect people against the consequences that can occur from polluted water.

So, solving the problem of pollution with more pollution.

The Vieques population, however, continued to suffer from various forms of cancer and respiratory diseases, mercury poisoning, water contamination and air pollution.

The international community had not done enough to respond to the destruction of ecosystems, land and soil degradation, loss of forests, fisheries and biodiversity, air and water pollution, and excessive consumption of fresh water.

Thus, the emission of pollutants was on the rise, unsustainable patterns of production and consumption continued to aggravate the threats to the environment, air pollution was spreading to developing countries while air and water pollution were getting worse.

Small island developing States continue to face water management and water access challenges, caused in part by deficiencies in water availability, water catchment and storage, pollution of water resources, saline intrusion (which may be exacerbated, inter alia, by sea level rise, unsustainable management of water resources and climate variability and climate change) and leakage in the delivery system.

Though UNICEF involvement will vary depending on factors such as water scarcity and pollution problems, all UNICEF WASH programmes in every priority country should include an element of water protection and conservation.

Environmental problems are embodied by the atmosphere, water and soil pollution, but the root still lies in the mode of production and living.

Meanwhile, pollution (from industry, agriculture and in some cases from the mass disposal of faeces into the environment) threatens previously safe water sources.

More than 3 million deaths per year are attributed to water pollution and poor sanitation, mainly in poor rural areas.

It also noted the increase in water pollution and destruction of ecosystems, especially in developing countries, as well as the link between desertification and migration resulting from shortages of water for consumption and economic activities.

While deforestation and unsustainable management practices can lead to increased water pollution, sustainable forest management in watersheds can help to protect supplies of freshwater.

20. The project on Environmental Monitoring and Analysis in the East Asian Region monitors land based sources of pollution in food, water and air.

A clear definition of status of protected areas, decision making on waste sites, waste water purification, and effective control of pollution will be an immediate task.

It is understood that the projects built involved many areas including comprehensive treatment of regional water environment (including protecting the ecological environment of Wabu Lake), environmental protection of drinking water sources, comprehensive remediation of rural environment, prevention and control of pollution at large scale livestock and poultry farms, pollution treatment of industrial enterprises, and demonstrations of construction of ecological cities.
