No one doubts the importance of water. Human beings live on water, animals live on water, plants live on water and all living things live on water. In short, no water, no life. You can’t imagine what would happen if there were no water in the world!
China is one of the countries in the world who is badly short of water. Its water problem has become more acute in recent years with the increase of water consumption and pollution. In big cities, the water problem worse. As industry has developed, large quantities of water have been or are being consumed or polluted. With the growth of population, more and more water is needed. The most serious problem China is facing is water pollution. It has spread to rivers, lakes, and even the seas or oceans. When dry weather comes, the water problem will go from bad to worse.
In order to survive, man has to be wise enough to treasure water and try to prevent it from being polluted. Man should also know that all resources in the world are limited, including water. Man should reasonably explore water and make good use of it. Otherwise man will be punished by nature. To treasure water is to treasure life. To protect our environment is to protect ourselves.
