Answer 1

1. Generally, people think that the earth will never lack fresh water. They think there is fresh water in rain, in rivers and wells and underground water.

But in fact such a belief is unfortunately wrong and possibly dangerous. Due to the rapid population increase, fresh water consumption remains great. Besides, with industrial development, more water is needed. Moreover, more rivers and lakes have been polluted and therefore undrinkable. Worst still, many more parts of the world are suffering from droughts.

　　We must take measures to solve (the problem of ) water shortage. First, population growth should be controlled to reduce water demand. Second, polluted water in the rivers and lakes should be purified. Most importantly, we should value every drip of tap water in our daily life.

    In short, the global fresh water shortage can be solved if we take action in time.

 2. Seventy percent of the earth＇s surface is covered with water , which might leads us to think that fresh water is everywhere and it will never be used up in the world.

     Actually, fresh water is in a short supply. We know that only a little part of water is fresh water. Yet the demand for fresh water (in our daily life and in industry) seems great. Moreover, with the expansion of the population and development of industry, the amount of the fresh water needed will increase even rapidly. It is estimated that if such a trend continues, the fresh water   will be exhausted/used up very soon. What’s worse, more and more water resources are being polluted, and unfit to use , and more rivers and wells have dried up because of droughts.

    The good news is that we are aware of the importance of fresh water and its shortage we are facing. We are trying to control the wastes from factories and develop new ways to recycle the used water.

 In conclusion, the global shortage of fresh water, I believe, can be solved if we take some measures in time.
