Water, soil and air are indispensable requisites for the existence of humans, animals and plants. Humans use these elements for a variety of activities. They produce drinking water and other food, discharge purified wastewater into rivers and streams, open up new construction areas, place their waste into the ground and much more.
There is a tension between use/exploitation and conservation/improvement, and so effective protection of water, soil and nature is necessary, all of which requires maintaining balance between competing uses.
