FRESHWATER - ISSUES & CONFLICTS

Picture

This optional theme focuses on water on the land as a scarce resource. It considers the ways in which humans
respond to the challenges of managing the quantity and quality of freshwater, as well as the consequences
(whether intended or unintended, positive or negative) of management. The theme includes both the
physical geography of freshwater (basic hydrology and floods) and human impacts on water quality.
