Abstract Subject headings

Because of a growing population and industrialization, total pollution levels in many water-courses around the world have increased considerably for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In the last few decades, however, the trend of increasing water pollution has been turned in many countries. Analyzing this shift – what many environmental economists call an ‘environmental Kuznets curve’ – can give us crucial insights into how a sustainable development might be achieved.
