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 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the
massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the
government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignores the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is 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 thought that the supply of clean water in the world
was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now
scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
