Abstract

ASPECTS OF THE ARGUMENTATION OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF WATER

The quantity of water on the planet is estimated at 1,338 million km3 of which only 2,57% is freshwater. But from liquid freshwater, only 3% is expected to be taken for human consumption, which, in fact, is in growing. For example, global water consumption has tripled from 1950 to 1990 and in the period of 1990-1995 years it increased six times. Problems related to water quantity and quality are related to its uneven distribution around the globe, by reducing the amount of potable water, increasing pollution with organic substances, nitrogen compounds, heavy metals, etc. Water quality can be improved only by empowering all citizens in the Republic of Moldova, by motivating them to get involved in all activities to protect waters in the territory. This study comes to argue the importance of examining water quality, listing the causes of pollution, involvement in all activities to prevent and reduce pollution. Keywords: quantity and quality of water, protection, pollution, consumption, accountability.
