Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. T o feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever - increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.

在未来，水的环境问题将会变得更尖锐、复杂。不断增长的人口将会极大地增加城市垃圾，主要以城市污水为主。在另一方面，对水日益增长的需求将会大幅度减少用于稀释垃圾废水的用量。迅猛发展的工业运用（涵盖）了越来越多的化工工艺，将会产生了大量的液体污染物，并且许多液体污染物都含有有毒的化学物质。为了喂养我们快速膨胀的人口，农业不得不集约化（加强发展），这就不断加重农业化学品的使用量。由此看来，显然必须立即大刀阔斧地采取行动去研究治理污染问题的正确措施。
