Abstract

In the present paper, the author would like to review and express his concern about the current and future state of continental surface water quality, specifically with regard to the
following:  1) natural variability of the chemical quality of continental surface waters and global references; 2) status of river quality monitoring on a global scale; 3) global problem
with water quality as a consquence of socioeconomic development.
