When it comes to the protection of water, People may know about the importance of doing it, but few people know about that March 22 is the world water day. The world water day aims to call up people’s attention to protect the fresh water and enhance the people’s awareness of water crisis. In China, the government stipulates that the last week of March is the Chinese water week. The main theme of this year is water and energy.
當提到保護水資源時，人們都知道其重要性，但是只有少數人知道每年的3月22日是世界水日。世界水日旨在號召人們保護水資源和讓人們意識到水資源的緊缺的危機。在中國，政府規定3月的最后一周為“中國水周”。今年世界水日的主題是“水與能源”。

Due to water, the living being can exist on earth. Water sustains human life and the environment. But with the rapid development of human society, the fresh water can hardly meet the needs of people in some areas. According to the least data, more than one billion people can not have clean fresh water. What’s worse, the surface and groundwater pollution is increasing rapidly. The main reason of water shortage is the rapid growth of population. People use different ways to get water, the water sources are being stretched to their limits. Another reason is that some factories pour dirty water into the rivers or lakes and make pollution. Thus there is less pure fresh water on the earth.
因為水，世界上的生物才得以生存。水維持了人類的生命和所生存的環境。但是隨著人類社會的快速發展，淡水已經很難滿足人們的需求了。根據最新的調查顯示：超過10億人喝不到干凈的水。更加糟糕的是，地表和地下水污染也日趨嚴重。缺水的主要原因是人口的快速增長。人們用不同的方式去開采水資源，使其接近匱乏的邊緣。其他原因是一些工廠直接把污水排放到河流和湖泊里面，導致了淡水被污染。因此，地球上的水資源越來越少。

It needs international cooperation and worldwide awareness to solve the problems of water shortage. Every ordinary people should realize the importance of water protection and save water. The government should take some effective measures to protect the water. Such as build more systems to clean-up the water, and collect the rainwater. Only in these ways, we can sustain our life.
解決水資源短缺的問題需要全球的合作和提高人們的環保意識。讓每個普通人明白了解到保護水的重要性。政府理應采取有力措施來保護水資源。例如建造更多的凈化水系統，收集雨水等等。只有這樣，我們才能生存下去。
