This study focuses on examining the relationship between water quality degradation and income at a global level using cross-country panel data sets. Water resource degradation is influenced by changes in the economic processes through scale, compositional and technology effects. The efforts on conservation of water resources are not on par with economic development in many developed as well as developing countries. The relationship between income and environmental quality is often studied through the Environmental Kuznets Curve.
