Read the passage and choose
the best answer

•
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world
today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking
water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution
and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable.
Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools
of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in
the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants,
including 1300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in
the world. But they’re being destroyed by massive volumes of
industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even
where law existed, the government didn’t have the power to
enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface.
But it’s the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution.
Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few
miles off shore.

Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people

sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we’re at last beginning
