Clean water is not only important for people to produce foodbut necessary for our life. Howevermany people in Asia and Africa dont have enough clean water to use. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day of dirty water or lack (缺乏) of water. 

Farmers use 7085% of the world fresh water to produce food. People usually dont pay much attention to how much water industry(工业)usesbut you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.

  Home use takes up(占据)only 8% in the world. But as cities growmore water will be used. The local government has to try to make people use less water.     

  In 60% of European citiespeople are saving water by using less. They even keep waste water for other use.

  In Australiathe government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use.

  The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program to encourage families and businesses to check their water use and save more water.
