	Water resources - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful to humans.
		Surface water is water in a river, lake or fresh water wetland.
		Water that can be treated and returned as surface water, such as sewage, is generally considered non-consumptive if that water can be put to additional use.

		Water resources are sources of water that are useful for to human beings in various ascpectd including, but not limited to:drinking, recreation, farming, and industry.
		Even though 70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water, a majority of it is salt water and the supply of fresh water is so limited in many parts of the world that the shortage constitute a serious problem for the human inhabitants.
		Water scarcity is but one side of the problem; water quality is the other, in as much as a resource can also be lost through its degradation.

		Desalinization is an artificial process by which saline water (generally ocean water) is converted to fresh water.
		Water that can be treated and returned as surface water, such as sewage, is generally considered non-consumptive.

		With increasingly capricious surface water supplies, those water agencies that develop the ability to optimally use a mix of surface and groundwater will be best prepared for the threat of drought as well as the related effects of global warming.
		Artificial recharge can be accomplished during periods of water surpluses by either active recharge (through surface recharge basins or injection/extraction wells, which is also known as aquifer storage and recovery) or by the delivery and use of surface water by users who would otherwise pump groundwater (known as in-lieu recharge).
