(h) the availability of alternative sources of water to satisfy competing water demands

One specific result was water scarcity, with once abundant sources of water drying up.

Point of use household water treatment systems, together with safe water storage, can provide safe drinking water from unsafe water sources.

Because we are all dependent on these water sources.

They're going to wash those contaminated materials, and then the water may move into sources of drinking water.

Water from many so called improved sources is contaminated because of poorly maintained or intermittently pressurized networks or untreated and contaminated source water.

General description Roughly a third of the world's rural population is without safe drinking water sources.

It seems that our citizens find the best way to dispose of garbage are in water sources.

Singapore had successfully diversified its water supply sources and had shared its experience with the Maldives, where salt water had contaminated water supplies following the Indian Ocean tsunami.

Where public utilities are responsible for supplying both water and sanitation services, some of the interdependencies can be addressed, for example, by planning sewage and waste water treatment in consideration of the need for protection of water quality and drinking water sources.

Fierce competition for a shrinking water resources base is resulting in over extraction for industry and agriculture, falling groundwater levels and failing domestic water sources.

Since water sources and flow are not limited by national boundaries, we urge that an international task force be established to study and make recommendations for international, gender sensitive, water rights management of shared water courses.

The biggest shortages of improved water sources and sanitation services are in the rural areas of Escuintla, Retalhuleu, Petén and Alta Verapaz.

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

Global coverage figures on improved drinking water (see table 1) are likely to be lower than what is indicated because they do not include information on the quality of water of specific sources.

Microbiological contamination of water sources is a common problem in many countries and chemical contamination (notably arsenic and fluoride) is increasingly a concern.

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

Parties alluded to the increasing pressure being placed on water resources in their countries, which makes it necessary for them to identify other sources, such as groundwater and desalinated water.

Women are most often responsible for domestic and community water management in developing societies, being in charge of determining sources, quantity and hygienic quality.

Communities consistently cite reliable and accessible water sources for household use as a development priority and increasingly stress the importance of sanitation as well.

elaborate inventories on relevant point sources including the pollutants discharged (emission inventories) and estimate the water pollution from non point sources taking into account Annex II, Part 2 review these documents according to the actual state.

(2) to intentionally damage the installations of electric power and communications, the sources of water, the means of transportation and other production facilities in coal mining areas

The security wall was having adverse effects in terms of the access of some Palestinians to their land and water sources, customary amenities and places of worship.

Many rural communities were forced to look for additional water sources, such as wells, springs, cisterns and tanks, and as a result often suffered from the ill effects of contaminated water and inadequate sewage or sanitation systems.

In rural areas, where the majority of the poor live, technical and financial support from government and local authorities for digging and maintaining wells or other water sources can help to expand access to safe drinking water.

The main land based sources of marine litter are municipal landfills (waste dumps) located on the coast, riverine transport of waste from landfills and other sources, discharges of untreated municipal sewage and storm water, industrial facilities, medical waste and tourism (recreational visitors, beach goers).

Local authorities could be provided with financial and technical assistance for large scale modern sanitation and waste water treatment works from a number of different sources.

Safe water sources near homes reduce the time wasting drudgery of fetching water (a burden borne disproportionately by women and girls) and provide opportunities for poor families to engage in small scale productive activities such as market gardening.

Nonetheless, 2.6 billion people over half of the developing world's population do not have improved sanitation facilities, and 1.1 billion are still using water from unimproved sources.

This double whammy can be mitigated only by innovative water management and conservation, and by developing nontraditional supply sources. As in the oil and gas sector where tapping unconventional sources, such as shale and tar sands, has proved a game changer the water sector must adopt all unconventional options, including recycling wastewater and desalinating ocean and brackish waters.

If there are no natural water sources near their plot, then farming is not possible, because no farm by itself is capable of creating an effective irrigation system.

A concurrent environmental study is to assess the volcanic structures and other features for the unusual ecosystems that congregate around these sources of heated water on the seabed.

Because many cities share water resources, cross jurisdictional financing mechanisms and a shared sense of commitment will be needed in order to protect and restore natural sources of clean water. These partnerships will require the cooperation of a broad variety of interest groups, all of which will have to be persuaded to support efforts to improve the water supply.

Article 58 No units or individuals may damage the installations of electric power and communications, the sources of water, the means of transportation and other production facilities in coal mine areas.

Costa Rica had found innovative ways to utilize its natural resources to obtain funds and reinvest them in sustainable development schemes, such as charging polluters for disposal, which allowed better control over sources of waste including the cost of water resource protection in the price of water and ensuring adequate quality levels based on the intended use of the water.

One of the most important sources of wealth in our world, which is not only a basis for environmental balance but also the most important basis for economic well being, is water resources.

Researchers found three quarters of water sources in the city contained high levels of coliform bacteria, a key indicator of contamination with fecal matter. A frightening 15 of households reported symptoms likely related to typhoid.

Republika Srpska does not have a single water facilities registry, while a number of facilities do not have appropriate technical technological documentation, or have not established sanitary zones of protection for sources and disinfection.

It also reduces women's access to close and free sources of raw materials and creates hardships in terms of the time and energy spent collecting wood for fuel, water and other common property resources.
