| Abstract |
This document describes conflicting issues related to urbanization in the humid tropics, population growth, pollution and the economics of rehabilitation of pollution against a background of tropical climate variability. Examples of specific water quality problems linked to cities especially those in coastal locations across the humid tropics are described in detail. The document concludes by providing a succinct assessment of possible technical and non-technical solutions.
