【題目】

Our Earth is a blue planet. About 71 percent of the planet is water, but people can only use a small amount of it. Only about 3 percent of the world's water is fresh water. It's in lakes, rivers and underground. According to the UN, wastewater problems make water shortages (短缺) even more serious. Our homes, cities and factories make wastewater every day. It pollutes rivers and lakes.
