 * __Water Pollution In China__**

In 2004, Scientists collected water samples from the main riverbank areas of China that were near villages. What they found and what the villagers nearby didn't know was that half of the water samples were so polluted, that they were basically undrinkable for people.

China isn't the only place in the world were water is affecting the animals and people around it. Almost 1.2 trillion gallons of sweage and industrial waste is discharged into U.S. waters each year. But with one of the fastest growing populations in the world today supporting 20 percent of the world's population and only 7% of the world's freshwater, it may be hard to find adequate supplies for the entire county. In fact, over 100 of the country's 660 cities could be looking at future water shortages and drought.
