Yet while it is true that the total amount of water on earth has remained at a constant since geological times, the availability of usable freshwater is diminishing at a rapid pace. This gradual degradation of water is brought about through pollution, abuse and misuse, a tragic predicament for which the only apparent solution is an efficient, equitable system of water management.
