It's everywhere. When we want water, it's there- we cook with it, we wash with it, and when we're thirsty we drink it. Water is very, very important our survival on our planet. Here are some facts that perhaps you didn't know about water. Speaker2: One- there are two kinds of water on planet Earth: fresh water and salt water. We can only drink fresh water. Salt water isn't drinkable. Speaker1: Two- of all the fresh water on the planet, people can only get to and use about one per cent of it. Only one per cent- the other 99 per cent of fresh water is in places we can't get to. For example... Speaker2: Three- about 70 per cent of all the fresh water on the earth is in Antarctica, at the South Pole, in the ice and iceberg s there. Lots of fresh water, but it's frozen, and very far away from where we live. So we can't use it. Speaker1: Four- most of us get our water at home out of a tap. Sometimes the tap drips because it's old or because someone hasn't turned it off properly. So what? Well, a dripping tap can sometimes waste about 75 litres of water every day. Speaker 2: Five- in western homes- in the USA for example, or in Europe- one person can use as much as 500 litres of water a day. An African family might only use about 20 litres a day. Speaker1: Six- every day, millions of people - especially women and children- walk very long distances to get water, from rivers or lakes or wells, and sometimes the water is dirty and polluted. This means lots of bad things, for example... Speaker 2:Seven- many people get sick because they drink dirty water. 88 per cent of all diseases in the world are caused by drinking dirty water. survival[s?'vaiv?l] n.1.幸存;残存[U] 2.幸存者;残存物[C] drinkable英音:['dri?k?bl] adj.可以喝的 properly英音:['prp?li] adv.恰当地;正确地 disease英音:[di'zi:z] n. [C][U]病,疾病 iceberg英音:['aisb?:g] n. [C]冰山;浮在海洋上的巨大冰块 CD1 T18 Radio host: We are talking now to one of the organisers of Safe Water, Joanne Williams. Ms Williams, what exactly is SafeWater? Expert: SafeWater is a non-profit organisation. We help people in developing countries to get safe drinking water and sanitation. It is our aim to make sure the one day, everyone in the world can get safe water to drink. Radio host: Why is that there are such problems with safe water? If it's true that people can only get to and use one per cent of all the fresh water on the planet. Then I'm sure a lot of listeners will ask "Where is the rest?" Expert: That's a very good question. First of all, when we talk about fresh water we have to remember that 97.5 per cent of the world's water is slat water, and only 2.5 per cent is fresh water. Now, of all the fresh water that there is in the world, 70 per cent is frozen in the polar ice caps. Radio host: Well, but what about the rest? That still leaves us 30 per cent of all the fresh water, doesn't it? Expert: Not really. Most of the 30 per cent is in the ground- we wouldn't have grass or plants or trees if the soil wasn't moist. Then there are also huge underground lakes, deep down in the ground , but we don't have access to them, because it would be too expensive to get to them, so we can only get to one per cent of the fresh water supply, and that's in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and in underground sources that are not too deep in the ground, so we have access without huge costs. Radio host: What about the rainfall? Can you tell us something about that? Expert: Yes. Of all the water falling onto our planet, about two-thirds goes back up into the atmosphere through a process called evaporation, or else plants take it up. About one-third of the rainfall ends up in the world's rivers. The problem of course is that the world's population is growing very fast, and as a consequence there is about 40 per cent less fresh water available per person than there was, say, 50 years ago. Radio host: I see. Can you give us a rough idea of... evaporation[i,v?p?'rei??n] n. [U]蒸发;发散 consequence英音:['k?nsikw?ns]n.结果,后果[C]
