For the thirty-four million people living in Sudan, environmental pollution is a major concern throughout the country; therefore industry, communities, local authorities and central government should adopt an integrated approach in order to deal with pollution issues. Most polluters pay little or no attention to the control and proper management of polluting effluents. This may reflect lack of enforceable legislation and/or the fear of spending money on the treatment of their effluent prior to discharge. Present resources must be strictly monitored and managed effectively if further deterioration is to be avoided. This book offers pertinent information regarding Sudan's water supply.
