ETHICAL ASPECTS OF WATER POLLUTION AND MANAGEMENT.

Water, the common symbol of humanity, valued and respected in all religions and cultures, has also become a symbol for social equity. Common ethical principles in water use and water management should be accepted as applicable in all geographies, in all stages of economic development and for all time.
