Water securityThe aim of water security is to make the most of water's benefits for humans and ecosystems. The second aim is to limit the risks of destructive impacts of water to an acceptable level. These risks include for example too much water (flood), too little water (drought and water scarcity) or poor quality (polluted) water. People who live with a high level of water security always have access to "an acceptable quantity and quality of water for health, livelihoods and production".
Tendances périodiquesvignette|313x313px|Les tendances périodiques des propriétés des éléments. Les tendances périodiques sont des patterns d'évolution de certaines propriétés des éléments à travers le tableau périodique. Ils ont été découverts par le chimiste russe Dmitri Mendeleïev en 1863. Les tendances principales sont le rayon atomique, l'énergie d'ionisation, l'affinité électronique, l'électronégativité, la valence et le caractère métallique. Ces tendances donnent une évaluation qualitative des propriétés des éléments.
Water rightWater right in water law is the right of a user to use water from a water source, e.g., a river, stream, pond or source of groundwater. In areas with plentiful water and few users, such systems are generally not complicated or contentious. In other areas, especially arid areas where irrigation is practiced, such systems are often the source of conflict, both legal and physical. Some systems treat surface water and ground water in the same manner, while others use different principles for each.
