Water pollution is a major global problem that requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels (from international down to individual aquifers and wells). It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily. In addition to the acute problems of water pollution in developing countries, industrialized countries continue to struggle with pollution problems as well. Water is typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic contaminants and either does not support a human use, such as drinking water, and/or undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its constituent biotic communities, such as fish. Natural phenomena such as volcanoes, algae blooms, storms, and earthquakes also cause major changes in water quality and the ecological status of water. Most water pollutants are eventually carried by rivers into the oceans.

L'air et l'eau, chacun connaît ; nous savons que sans ces deux fluides, notre vie serait impossible sur Terre. Et après ? Que savons-nous sur eux ? Depuis quelques années, des événements graves se multiplient : cyclones, tornades, tsunamis, inondations… mais sait-on comment cela fonctionne ? Le livre apporte les réponses à ces questions. Tout d'abord, on considère l'air et l'eau dans des situations dites " à l'équilibre ", c'est-à-dire pour lesquelles on se pose d'ordinaire peu de questions. Puis on aborde les phénomènes dynamiques aux diverses échelles. Le parti pris est de décrire avant d'expliquer. L'ouvrage se termine par la présentation de constructions humaines (barrages, ports…) destinées à domestiquer et utiliser l'eau à notre avantage Le lecteur se voit proposer une promenade à diverses échelles, des alizés aux nuages, du Gulf Stream aux vaguelettes. Ainsi il découvre et comprend de façon intuitive les phénomènes. Ceux qui désirent des démonstrations plus physiques et mathématiques iront visiter le site web en libre accès du pap-ebook et auront besoin d'un niveau scientifique supérieur. La majorité des lecteurs effectuera une promenade sur Terre avec nos deux fluides fétiches grâce à un livre remarquablement illustré avec ses index, glossaire, annexe, et aussi avec les films du site web. Ce livre restera un incontournable de la bibliothèque que l'on pourra conserver pour le consulter à nouveau, et l'utiliser comme base de toute recherche sur l'air et l'eau.
