新东方网英语六级频道为大家整理了英语六级阅读练习，一起来练习吧!Water problems in the future will become nore intense and more complex. Our
increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes,primarily sewage.
On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantialy the
amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries
which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large
volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are
noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be
intensified. This will involve ever-increasingquantities of agricultural
chemicals, From this , it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken
immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.
There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The
first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard.
This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to " disposal and the
treatment of liquid wastes, or efflunets,to permit the reuse of the water or
minimize pollution upon final disposal.
A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the
wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement .
Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation
and for the nutrients contained. Efflunets from other processing plants may also
be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and
poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into
marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential eonomic uses for waste
products.
