It says more than three hundred and thirtyfive million people lack(缺少 )enough water now. These people live in twentyeight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East. PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount(數(shù)量 )of water on the earth stays the same. The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict(沖突 ). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan. And Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve their economies (經(jīng)濟 ).This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning. The Population Action International study gives several ways to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose, Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use 1ess water for agriculture. The report also says a longterm way to the water problem is to control population growth. 8 It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have. 42.
