2009 number 3

This edition of the UNESCO Courier focuses on water.Increased demand, waste and insufficient investment: water shortage may come sooner than we think. Although water covers three-quarters of the world’s surface, only 0.0075% of this immense volume is available for humanity’s use. Some countries have already reached the limits of their resources.

The UNESCO Courier examines some strategies for better management.
