On present predictions, it is/an element that is set to assume even greater significance. 8 Throughout history, water has had a huge impact on our lives. Humankind has always had a rather ambiguous relationship with Water, on the one hand ‘ot justas a drinking source, but as a Provider of food anda means whereby to travel and to trade. But forced to live close to water in order to survive and to develop, the relationship has not always been peaceful or beneficial. In fact it has been quite the contrary. ‘What has essentially been a necessity for survival has turned out in many instances to have a very destructive and life-threatening side. ‘Through the ages, great floods alternated with long periods of drought have assaulted people and their environment, hampering their fragile fight for survival. The dramatic changes to the environment that are now a feature of ur daily news are not exactly new: fields that were once lush and fertile are ‘now barren; lakes and rivers that were once teeming with life are now long. gone; savannah has been turned to desert. What perhaps is new is our naive wonder when faced with the forces of nature. ‘Today, we are more aware of climatic changes around the world. Floods in far-flung places are instant news for the whole world. Perhaps these events make us feel better as we face the destruction of our own property by floods and other natural disasters. In 2002, many parts of Europe suffered severe flood damage running into billions of euros. Properties across the continent collapsed into the sea as waves pounded the coastline wreaking havoc with sea defences. But it was ‘not just the seas. Rivers swollen by heavy rains and by the effects of deforestation carried large volumes of water that wrecked many communities.usteMn, ‘botoreistening tothe recording and completing Sections 1-4, goon to pages 14-1.
