Environmental problems, together with climate change, cause the crises associated with water resources that occur throughout the world.
Floods, droughts and water pollution are aggravated by the degradation of vegetation cover, soils, rivers and lakes.
When we neglect ecosystems, we hinder access to water resources, essential to survive and thrive.
