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. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent

water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost sixteen countries regularly
throw industrial wastes a few miles offshore.
