IV Read the text then choose the correct 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 Russian 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 effluent which poor into the
lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did 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.
