We all need water in order to stay alive. However, the problem is there is often too much or too
little. When it rains a lot, the level of the rivers rises. The water runs over the banks. People die. Their
cars and houses are ruined. Animals are killed, too. Many big cities in Asia, Latin America and
Europe often have floods.
Sometimes it does not rain for a long time. Plants die. Animals die, too. People have no food.
Many countries in Africa have problems with droughts. Every year these droughts get worse and
worse .
Industry always pollutes water with chemicals. Some farmers use too many chemicals. These
enter the rivers and lakes. They kill the plants and fish.
The world is getting warmer, so water levels are rising. Climates are changing. Some countries
are becoming hotter and drier. This affects agriculture.
People want to control global warming, but they cannot agree about the best solutions.
