WORLD WATER AVAILABILITY
Water quality affects health and also the quantity and quality of food. The transfer of micropollutants such as heavy metals and persistent organic compounds like many pesticides from the environmental matrices to food chain, compromises food security.

Challenges for water management
Suitable water sources in quantity and quality
Water treatment
Safe water distribution
Wastewater treatment and disposal
¿What do we need to put in common the results of research with the requirements in
management?
Information and communication technologies are basic to improve water
management
Thank you very much for your attention!
