Part-IIIReading ComprehensionNo. of Questions: 05A Thirsty WorldThe world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 per cent of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 per cent of this huge amount is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 per cent-the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small example of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single tonne of steel, it takes about 91 000 litres of water? We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. The systems that have been worked out resemble those used in spacecraft.Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then discharged into a sewer system. From there it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying plant. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next? Did I hear someone say “to the oceans”? You’re a step ahead of me!All we’d have to do to make use of the vast reserves of seawater in the world is- remove the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.So you see, if we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up!
