·安徽高)考 The need to feed a growing population
is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water. With
97%
of
the
world's
water
too
salty
to
be
drunk
or
used
in
agriculture,
the
worldwide
supply
of
water
needs
careful
management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a
water
shortage( 短缺 )seems
strange
to
someone
fortunate
enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's
agricultural
industries
experience
constant
water
shortages.
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use
in dry areas and dry seasons,
the
costs
of
water
redistribution( 重新分配 )are very high. Not only is there the cost
of the
engineering
itself,
but
there
is also
an
environmental
cost
to
be
considered. Where
valleys( 山谷 )are
flooded
to
create
dams,
houses
are
lost
and
wildlife
homes
destroyed.
Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other.
Each
country
must
therefore
rely
on
the
management
of
its
own
water
to
supply
its
farming
requirements.
This
is
particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries
in
areas
dependent
on
irrigation
(灌溉 ). In
Texas,
farmers'
overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of
the
water
stores. In
the
Central Valley area
of
southwestern
USA,
a
huge
water
engineering
project
provided
water
for
farming
in
dry
valleys,
but
much
of
the
water
use
has
been
poorly managed.
Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in
desert
areas
have
seen
the
pumping
of
huge
quantities
of
irrigation water from underground reserves.
Because there is
no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and
it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.
1. From the first two paragraphs we learn that________.
A.
much of the world's water is available for use
B. people in
high
rainfall
countries
feel
lucky
C.
