Change in water management policy, environmental policy. 22 institutions, top universities of Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Germany: change needed. The scientific arguments for the change: a series of publications including: Polyfunctional role of biodiversity in water purification; Top universities, institutions involved: Uppsala, Ghent, Universite catholique de Louvain, K U Leuven, Universite libre de Bruxelles, University of Antwerp, Maastricht University, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, and others. #policy #water management #environmental. institutions #Belgium Netherlands, Sweden, #France #Germany #change needed:http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2013/06/change-in-water-management-policy.html ** ** The paper: Polyfunctional role of biodiversity in water purification: Full text free:http://ru.scribd.com/doc/52627327/

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), Uppsala University (Sweden) and others supported this fundamental concept. This paper was also cited by scientists of U.S.A., Germany and other countires.
