Ⅴ.七选五 (2025广东东莞高二检测) What’s Causing the Global Water Crisis? Nothing survives without water,which is the most basic fact of life.Yet,we are facing a global water crisis that affects everything from agriculture to public health.　1　  Climate Change Climate change makes the global water problem worse,especially in places where there’s not enough water already.　2　 Cutting down trees,like in forests,makes the climate even hotter,which is bad for water and land.For example,in some parts of Africa,a lot of the land where people grow food is getting ruined because of droughts caused by climate change.  Natural Disasters A UNICEF report shows that nearly 75% of all natural disasters from 2001 to 2018 were water-related,whether linked to climate change or not.This has added to the global water crisis.These disasters include droughts and floods,which can destroy or pollute water resources.　3　  Wastewater 　4　 Sometimes water can be plentiful in an area.But whether that water is safe to drink...that’s another story.Globally,44% of household wastewater is reused without being treated.　5　 According to the UN,this means 1.8 billion people use water that is dirty with rubbish,chemicals,or other harmful pollutants.Wastewater causes many diseases around the world,such as cholera and polio.  A.However,these events will not happen. B.Here are the main reasons behind this crisis. C.This makes clean drinking water harder to find. D.Wastewater is another major reason for the global water crisis. E.Wastewater reuse is also an effective way to ease the water crisis. F.About 80% of all wastewater returns to the environment untreated. G.As the climate problem gets worse,there are fewer resources available.
