62、l Shortage of Fresh Water Many people believe that the worlds supply of fresh water will never be used up. They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use. Such an opinion leads to ashocking waste of water. As a matter of fact, the earth is short
63、 of fresh water. Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the worlds population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, theworld is facing the danger of running out of fresh water. Actually, in some big cities, fresh water cannotmeet the daily needs. Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second, scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water, and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.
