Abstract

"For decades, humanity has been stuck at a conceptual standstill. The serious failures through three or four decades to come to grips with environmental degradation have undermined the life support system for our and all other species. Dry rivers, severely polluted water bodies and land systems pushed beyond the ecological thresholds have created a continuous decline of ecosystem services. Since ecosystems are water dependent, they are easily impacted when water's functions in the life support system are being disturbed."
