Water is essential to sustain human life. It plays a vital role in many human activities, including industrial production, agriculture, energy, sanitation, and transportation, in addition to sustaining ecosystems that provide valuable services to both environment and human. Although water seems to be abundant on the planet, 97% of the Earth’s water is seawater, making it unfit for most human uses. Of the remaining 3%, 87% is inaccessible, either locked in polar icecaps or in deep underground aquifers. Thus, only 0.4% of all of the water on earth is in a form that is usable and accessible by human beings (CAP-Net 2003).
