From the Paper:

"Although clean water is essential to human health " as well as to the health of the plants and animals with which we share our world " water quality is often far below what it should be. The reasons for this are complex, but are almost always based in the fact that water is in many ways a shared resource, with pollutants flowing easily from one place to another. Because water is such an efficient solvent, it can dissolve and carry with it a number of substances that can well prove harmful to our health and that should therefore be carefully monitored and eliminated whenever possible."
