Water Consumption and Sustainable Water Resources ManagementOECD Publishing, 23 mrt 1998 - 63 pagina's Water is a vital resource for human health, economic development and environmental quality. Over the past three decades, OECD Member countries have made major strides in the management of their water resources. Increasingly, however, water is coming back onto the policy agenda.
