Q6. Read the passage and the following questions:

Life without water is not possible. We need it for many things including cleaning, cooking, using the washroom,
and more. Moreover, we need clean water to lead a healthy life. Out of all the water available, only three per cent
is freshwater. Therefore, it is essential to use this water wisely and carefully. Every day, we keep exploiting water
for a variety of purposes. In addition to that, we also keep polluting it day in and day out. The effluents from
industries and sewage discharges are dispersed into our water bodies directly. Moreover, there are little or no
facilities left for storing rainwater. Thus, floods have become a common phenomenon. Similarly, there is
careless use of fertile soil from riverbeds. It results in flooding as well. Therefore, you see how humans play a
big role in water scarcity. Living in concrete jungles have anyway diminished the green cover. On top of that,
we keep on cutting down forests that are a great source of conserving water.
