According to Water UK, which represents the country’s water industry, about two- thirds of tap water in England and Wales comes from rivers and the reservoirs and lakes they flow into; the rest is taken from aquifers. Northern Ireland and Scotland rely almost exclusively on rivers, reservoirs and lakes. All told, 87 per cent of the UK water supply comes from these sources. According to government statistics, water companies in the UK abstract about 4.6 cubic kilometers of river, lake and reservoir water in England for the public supply every year. People drink it, bathe in it, flush their toilets with it, irrigate their gardens with it and use it to wash their clothes, floors and cars. Offices, shops, restaurants and other firms drink deep of it too. Water is abstracted for other purposes. Electricity generators take 3.4 cubic kilometers to turn their steam turbines, while fish and watercress farms use 0.8 cubic kilometers and agriculture and private water supplies another 0.8. Even in a relatively rainy country like the UK, that is milking it. The UK government estimates that about 1 in 5 surface water sources are depleted by over-abstraction, which has knock-on effects on river health. The opposite problem – too much water – is an increasingly familiar hazard during the winter. Flooding is a growing problem as climate change causes extreme weather events, including biblical downpours. According to the Environment Agency, the UK has had six of its 10 wettest years on record since 1998. Last year was the first to see three named Atlantic storms in the space of a week. Natural floodplains can help to mitigate flood risk by corralling the excess water and releasing it slowly back into the river. That is especially true of riverine landscapes engineered by beavers, whose dams and pools massively slow the passage of water through the system. Where rain used to hit the ground and surge straight into the waterways, it now is trapped for weeks. Beavers are being reintroduced all over the UK after they gained legal protection last year. (Adapted from 67. With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned? A. Drinking water and flood management B. Habitats for various aquatic animals C. Water for public use D. Electricity generation 68. Which parts of the UK rely almost exclusively on rivers, reservoirs and lakes for their water supply? A. England and Wales B. England and Scotland C. Scotland and Northern Ireland D. Wales and Northern Ireland 5
