Water quality, ecosystem management and disaster prevention

So rainfall cycle and water regulation by rainforests at an ecosystem level.

Ecosystem health is critical to the quantity and quality of water supply.

So rainfall cycle and water regulation by rainforests at an ecosystem level.

The programme consists primarily of projects on aquatic ecosystem assessment and protection, water and waste water treatment and water related human health impact.

Environmental valuation of ecosystem goods and services should become a core component of water management strategies.

Without access to fertile land, uncontaminated water and a healthy biological ecosystem, farmers' livelihood is in danger.

So what can they do about this remaining water footprint that can have serious effects on the ecosystem?

Ecosystem approaches increase the availability of clean water and should be an integral part of actions to supply the poor with clean water and adequate sanitation.

Effective development and management of water resources and efficient and equitable provision of safe drinking water are central to poverty eradication, ecosystem protection and sustainable growth.

It is vital to achieve environmentally sustainable water use, and the application of integrated water resources management, including ecosystem approaches, is the appropriate process for that purpose.

Drylands include all terrestrial regions where water scarcity limits the production of crops, forage, wood and other ecosystem provisioning services.

It urges the conserving and managing of resources for development, such as water, soil, ecosystem and atmosphere including addressing climate change.

Beyond this, UNIDO's international water programme includes the regional project for Africa on combating living resource depletion and coastal area degradation in the Guinea Current large marine ecosystem through ecosystem based regional actions, which covers 16 countries.

Ecosystem health

Countries should adopt time bound environmental targets, particularly for such priorities as forest replanting, integrated water resources management, ecosystem preservation and curbing pollution.

Millennium Ecosystem Assessment

(d) The fact that 60 per cent of the ecosystem services examined by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment are being degraded or used unsustainably, including freshwater, capture fisheries, air and water purification and the regulation of regional and local climate, natural hazards and pests.

The themes of the discussions on water focused on providing access to safe drinking water in urban and rural areas preparing plans for integrated water resources management and creating an appropriate institutional and policy framework enhancing water use efficiency and managing competing uses water quality, ecosystem management and disaster prevention strengthening monitoring and evaluation programmes and securing finance for water related investments.

Examples of these include technologies for increasing efficiency of water use, improved land use planning, ecosystem and biodiversity protection, and monitoring, forecasting and early warning systems.

99. Reaffirms paragraph 119 of resolution 61 222 regarding ecosystem approaches and oceans, including the proposed elements of an ecosystem approach, means to achieve implementation of an ecosystem approach and requirements for improved application of an ecosystem approach, and in this regard

Several threats to overall ecosystem health, and consequently to the ability of ecosystems to provide the materials upon which human life depends, are particularly relevant to water resources.

So these places not only help the ecosystem but also help the people who can benefit from the ecosystem.

This support involves four thematic priorities to guide the activities, which are promoting understanding and operating the principles of the ecosystem approach, promoting understanding and application of cost effective ecosystem restoration, development and testing of indicators of ecosystem status and the development and communication of ecosystem management tools.

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.

And it's pushing the ecosystem close to collapse.
