On

Water

Shortage

No

one

can

have

failed

to

notice

the

fact

that

water

shortage

is

a

grave

problem

wit

h

which

the

whole

world

is

confronted.

Actually,

it

has

become

so

widespread

that

it

has

severely

affected

people’s

daily

life

and

hindered

the

development

of

the

global

econom

y.

A

number

of

factors

could

account

for

the

problem,

but

the

following

might

be

the

c

ritical

ones.

First,

with

the

development

of

agriculture

and

industry,

an

increasing

amount

of

water

is

needed.

Secondly,

the

ever-increasing

population

is

another

leading

cause

of

w

ater

shortage.

Besides,

the

global

tendency

of

warming

up

also

contributes

to

the

problem.

What’s

worse,

pollution

and

waste

of

fresh

water

aggravate

the

situation.

In

view

of

the

seriousness

of

the

problem,

effective

measures

must

be

taken

before

t

hings

get

worse.

First,

it

is

essential

that

laws

and

regulations

be

worked

out

and

enforce

d

to

protect

water

resources.

Secondly,

people

should

enhance

their

awareness

of

saving

w

ater.

With

these

measures

taken,

it

is

reasonable

for

us

to

expect

a

brighter

future.
