Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are

more and more people in the world. Factories turn out more and more
products and need more and more water. We live in a world of water. But
almost all of it - about 97%-is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be
used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the
world's water is fresh. Most of this water is not easily available to man
because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever
be. Most of the water we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is
evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain. Water is used
and reused over again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole
has plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does
not fall evenly over the earth. Some regions are always too dry, and
others too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have
a serious dry spell and another region may be flooded with too much rain.
