这个世界并不是积饿的，而是渴的。【大意就是说缺少水】，这似乎很奇怪，地球的四分之三被水覆盖着，但是我们却缺少水。为什么？因为这个世界上有百分之九十七的水是不能直接用来饮用或灌溉植物的。我们只喝和使用百分之三--这些水来自于湖和河。我们还不能使用全部，因为一些水已经受到了污染。
现在有更多对于水的需求。问题是：我们是否能够从现在开始，避免水的严重短缺。首先，我们必须学会怎样节省水。第二，我们应该找到循环用水的方法。科学家们已经开始了对这个领域的研究。今天，在大多数大城市里，水只被使用一次后就排放到了海洋或河流中。但它可以被再次使用。即使每一个大城市都将水循环使用，水也仍不够使用。人们接下来要做什么呢？
海洋似乎是一个最好的的答案，在海里有很多水。需要做的就是将盐从海水中分离出来。但这样做成本很高，而且对于世界上的很多地方来说它并不适用。科学家们正在找成本低廉的方法去实现它。如果我们能找到这个方法，我们就不会有干涸的危险。
