 | | David Allan is a professor of conservation biology and ecosystem management at the University of Michigan and co-author of Streams: Their Ecology and Life. |
 | | Water problems risk the health of fish populations, for instance, or the water purification capacity of the aquatic ecosystem; or the health of the riparian ecosystem, the streamside vegetation and trees that live along the stream and have roots in the shallow ground water. |
 | | Just to mention the valuable uses of fresh water is breathtaking if you run down the listthe water we have for drinking, for domestic use, for agriculture and industry, for employment, and to support healthy fish populations that are an important source of protein, and so on. |
