Water recycling in biosystems for food production

Abstract

Nowadays, experts are discussing the issue of water taking into account the Declaration of Dublin, in which the topic of water is treated like a sustainable issue. This declaration was presented in 1992. It is a fact that the scarcity and inadequate use of freshwater are leading us to a nonrational and sustainable development from an ecological point of view (N.R.W.C. Committee 1993; Chapman 2006; Walsh et al. 2006). Health and well-being, food security, and industrialization are other threatened areas, which are affecting ecosystems on which all human beings depend. That is the reason why to secure a future, it is necessary to have an effective management of water and soil resources. Within the acceptable minimum ethics, it should be noted that the general environment, including water resources in particular, is a heritage of mankind that we have inherited, and that we must protect for future generations. Proper management must certainly rely on the three commonly accepted principles of solidarity, subsidiary, and participation (F.I. Report 2009).
