Water Quality for Ecosystem and Human Health

23 November 2008

The data and analyses presented in Water Quality for
Ecosystem and Human Health 2nd Edition are from GEMStat,
the global water quality database created by UNEP's
GEMS/Water Programme, the only programme in the UN system exclusively dedicated to
monitoring and assessing environmental water quality. Drawing on examples from around the
world, Water Quality for Ecosystem and Human Health presents assessments of current water
quality status and trends. It also provides an introduction to a diverse range of global water
quality issues, including approaches to their identification, analysis and resolution.
