is not potable;
deforestation

Cook Islands:
NA

Coral Sea Islands:
no permanent fresh water resources

Costa Rica:
deforestation and land use change, largely a result of
the clearing of land for cattle ranching and agriculture; soil
erosion; water pollution (rivers); coastal marine pollution;
wetlands degradation; fisheries protection; solid waste management;
air pollution

Cote d'Ivoire:
deforestation (most of the country's forests - once
the largest in West Africa - have been heavily logged); water
pollution from sewage and industrial and agricultural effluents

Croatia:
air pollution (from metallurgical plants) and resulting
acid rain is damaging the forests; coastal pollution from industrial
and domestic waste; landmine removal and reconstruction of
infrastructure consequent to 1992-95 civil strife

Cuba:
pollution of Havana Bay; overhunting threatens wildlife
populations; deforestation

Cyprus:
water resource problems (no natural reservoir catchments,
seasonal disparity in rainfall, sea water intrusion to island's
largest aquifer, increased salination in the north); water pollution
from sewage and industrial wastes; coastal degradation; loss of
wildlife habitats from urbanization

Czech Republic:
air and water pollution in areas of northwest
Bohemia and in northern Moravia around Ostrava present health risks;
acid rain damaging forests

Denmark:
air pollution, principally from vehicle and power plant
emissions; nitrogen and phosphorus pollution of the North Sea;
drinking and surface water becoming polluted from animal wastes and
pesticides

Djibouti:
inadequate supplies of potable water; desertification

Dominica:
NA

Dominican Republic:
water shortages; soil eroding into the sea
damages coral reefs; deforestation; Hurricane Georges damage

Ecuador:
deforestation; soil erosion; desertification; water
pollution; pollution from oil production wastes

Egypt:
agricultural land being lost to urbanization and windblown
sands; increasing soil salination below Aswan High Dam;
desertification; oil pollution threatening coral reefs, beaches, and
marine habitats; other water pollution from agricultural pesticides,
raw sewage, and industrial effluents; very limited natural fresh
water resources away from the Nile which is the only perennial water
source; rapid growth in population overstraining natural resource
