How does fresh water export affect people’s health

Water, health and ecosystem linkages

Most of the earth's surface is covered by water, and most of the human body is composed of water – two facts illustrating the critical linkages between water, health and ecosystems.

To the right is a general directory of web-accessible resources focusing on linkages between health and healthy freshwater ecosystems. See Section 9 of the directory for links to major web-based meta-networks and meta-data bases, sponsored by WHO, UNEP, and other UN institutions, and section 10 for selected links sponsored by development agencies, academic/research institutes, and civil society.

Health and Environment in Integrated Coastal Zone Management

More than one-third of the world's population lives around coastal ecosystems - a special focus of the web-accessible directory link below. See Section 9 for links to WHO/UNEP portals and Section 10 for links to other organizations, e.g. development agencies, academic/research institutions and civil society.
