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.
However, 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. Yet, they are being destroyed by the
massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even
though laws have been made, the government does not 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 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.
