Note générale : |
"Although the total amount of water on earth is generally amimed to have remained virtually constant, the rapid growth of population, together with the extension of irrigated agriculture and industrial development, are stressing the quantity and quality aspects of the naturel system. Because of the increasing problems, man has begun to realize that he can no longer follow ""use and discard"" philosophy-either with water ressources of any other naturel resource. As a result, the need for a consistent policy of national management of water resources has become evident. Rational water management, however, should be founded upon a thourough understanding of water availability and movement. This report dummarizes the results of a hydrological analysis of 131 world rivers." |
