Background
Water is fast emerging as the key resource of the future. The demand for fresh water is growing at a tremendous pace, aided by a growing population and increased levels of industrialization. Discharge of untreated industrial and domestic waste water to existing fresh water bodies is another cause of concern, as it diminishes the availability of fresh water resources.
