water degradation  

Définition

  • Water is a “renewable” resource that provides essential services, is constantly restored by the hydrologic cycle, and can be degraded when used or altered faster than it can be replenished. Freshwater degradation occurs when the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water become harmful to the environment or organisms, including humans, by which the usefulness of the water resource is in some way reduced.
