Water has been an important natural resource of the Earth and has been essential for the existence of all living things. The intimate relationship between the human society and water is symbolized by the fact that almost all ancient civilizations originated on the banks of large rivers.
In the present, water is still an essential natural resource for keeping the health and pleasant lives of people, and for making valuable natural and industrial products.
On the other hand, social problems relating to water, such as the shortage of water resources and the occurrence of water pollution, have long been at issue and they are still remaining as important problems to be solved. Those problems have been occurred as the results of the increase in population, the oncentration of population in big cities, the development of industries and so on. This fact is advising us to harmonize our life-styles with the natural environment and to realize the sustainable development.
