Globale Aspekte der Qualität des Wassers werden in der nahen Zukunft eine Bedeutung erlangen, die derjenigen der Ölkrise in den siebziger Jahren vergleichbar sein wird. Daher ist es dringend notwendig, wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse in den Prozeß des Wassermanagements einzubinden, wie es dieses Buch versucht. Berücksichtigt werden städtische und ländliche Gegenden sowie Küstenregionen; die Verknüpfungen zwischen Wissenschaft und Politik werden gut nachvollziehbar dargestellt. (07/99)
