One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage
of clean water. Having clean drinking water is basic human right. But acid rain, industrial
pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs
and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of
the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including
1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being
destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pours into the lake
everyday. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce
them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations.
The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface. But it is the
dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw
industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean
water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by
pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect
this precious source. We should do something now.

term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is
directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same
verbal complex. A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a
knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music. Yet the word culture does not
refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education. At least from the
19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word
culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to
refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and
values
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced
culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass
culture, and most recently between national and global cultures. Distinctions have been
drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or
agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words are sometimes treated as
synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are pitted against
each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word
culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and
of development in the 20th century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They
have twists and turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What,
for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of
classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th
century to be central to school and university education. No single alternative focus
emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study,
and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in new forms not
everything gets better or more civilized.
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult
to define. There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been
made to establish one. The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural
meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for
example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in anthropology and sociology we
also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of
reference is extremely wide.
