This paper was based on a series of serious research results and publications. This paper formulated in a crystal clear form the following statement:
aquatic biodiversity (the entire biological community of organisms which live in water bodies and streams) function together as a hi-tech biomachinery to clean water, to maintain water quality.
This fundamental scientific result leads to an urgent practical conclusion.
The conclusion is: it is impossible to maintain water quality (in other words, water safety, water sustainability, proper water supply) without protecting the entire biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems (water bodies and streams).
This conclusion calls for a serious change in water management.
This conclusion means a call for serious changes in policies on environmental management.
Biodiversity protection is no longer a matter of being humane. It is a matter of having proper water supply.
22 scientific institutions including top universities as Ghent University (Belgium; the university is associated with 5 Nobel Laureates), Uppsala University (Sweden; the university is associated with 15 Nobel Laureates), Universite libre de Bruxelles (associated with 5 Nobel Laureates), and others supported this fundamental concept. This paper was also cited by scientists of the U.S.A., Germany and other countries.
