全世界许多知名科学家相信,也许要不了多久,淡水而不是石油将成为地球上最昂贵的物质——目前,地球上已有11亿人承受着严重的淡水缺乏之苦,到2025年时,这一数字将增加到30亿,约占地球总人口的40%。俄罗斯国家科学院水问题研究所认为,全球水危机危及地球这一前景已离我们不远。 It is perhaps not long before many well-known scientists around the world believe that freshwater, not oil, will become the most expensive material on Earth-1.1 billion people on earth are now suffering from a severe lack of freshwater, and by 2025 this A figure will increase to 3 billion, accounting for about 40% of the Earth’s total population. According to the Institute of Water Problems at the Russian Academy of Sciences, the prospect that the global water crisis threatens the Earth is not far from us.
