Abstract |
For nature to provide clean water, watersheds upstream have to be kept safe and healthy, and soils free from pollution. Once the landscapes that make up watersheds, for example forests, grasslands, cultivated and riparian areas, and wetlands, are disrupted or contaminated, water becomes very expensive to purify. |
