Despite the fact that our planet offers us enough fresh water for the satisfaction of the needs of the world's population, the geographical distribution of this resource is not equitable. Several nations have problems of water scarcity and in many regions of the planet the quality of water is in permanent deterioration as a result of pollution caused by waste produced by people, agriculture and especially industry. Better shared management of water resources would obtain a greater quantity of water to distribute it more equitably, thus avoiding waste and contamination.

The groundwater comes from the rain and when it falls it penetrates the ground, recharging the aquifers. The fresh water reserves that exist in wetlands and aquifers are the most important source of renewable fresh water.
