Abstract
Owing to the rapid growth of world population and the resulting development of industry and agriculture, there is a constantly increasing demand for fresh water. At the same time, the quality of the available resources is being affected by salinity and pollution (Marshall, 1972). Consequently, the problem of water supply, which is directly related to the supply of food, is gradually becoming one of the crucial issues facing mankind.
