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

Monitoring and reduction of pollution to the transboundary waters and

(k) Additional specific measures are taken to prevent the pollution of groundwaters

Draft article 14 deals with the problem of pollution of aquifers.

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

A global assessment of freshwater quality is now followed by an evaluation of regional water pollution issues and the formulation of a strategy for the 1990s on water pollution control (UNDP, UNEP, WHO).

Any contamination from the water or air from the pipe outlet is impossible to get back to the unit.

79. Toxic chemicals and heavy metals can contaminate rivers and other water supplies.

Sustainable development will be crucially dependent on the equitable management of the water cycle in allowing livelihood security and preventing water pollution and land degradation.

Contamination of water supplies and destruction of rare habitat are also among potential problems.

Activities relevant to the Committee Conducts case studies on industrial water pollution and industry.

The Mediterranean Sea constitutes 0.7 of the global water surface and yet receives seventeen percent of global marine oil pollution.

Protection measures aimed at prevention of groundwater pollution and overuse should be the basic tools for groundwater management.

Impact of natural disasters on water, sanitation and human settlements prevention and response

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.

And Asia has less fresh water per person than any continent other than Antarctica, and some of the world s worst water pollution.

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

In addition to air pollution, the area of Bor is also exposed to intensive water pollution and soil degradation.

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

The Palestinian villagers now have to collect water from wells scattered in the nearby mountains, which has given rise to diseases owing to water contamination. (The Jerusalem Times, 12 August 1994)

57. The WHO water quality monitoring component of GEMS has laid the basis for more comprehensive monitoring of the quality of freshwater, internationally and nationally, in support of water pollution control.

The provision of safe water remained an important factor in the prevention of water borne diseases.

The country is also vulnerable to natural disasters and had water contamination problems following recent volcanic activity.

Consequently, Iraq argues that any contamination of groundwater resources in Jordan cannot be attributed to the invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

I don't care what it takes deliver the order!

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

Aquifer States shall, individually and, where appropriate, jointly, prevent, reduce and control the pollution of a transboundary aquifer or aquifer system that may cause significant harm to other aquifer States or to their environment.

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.

States shall take all appropriate measures to prevent, insofar as possible, any pollution of, and the degradation of the hydraulic integrity of, aquifers.

However, preventive measures are still required in order not to pollute aquifers or impair their normal function.

This will include prevention of groundwater contamination by pesticides and safe disposal practices and establishment of relevant standards of pesticide residues.

(f) Other environments.

Iraq referred especially to contamination of water from urban settlements located within the catchment areas of highly vulnerable springs which did not have appropriate connections to sewerage networks.

In the US what that means, is sponsoring Alzheimer's prevention research, and cancer prevention research, dementia prevention research, as well as some cure research.
