The history of human civilization is entwined with the

history of the ways we have learned to manipulate water

resources. As towns gradually expanded, water was brought

from increasingly remote sources, leading to sophisticated

engineering efforts such as dams and aqueducts. At the

height of the Roman Empire, nine major systems, with an

innovative layout of pipes and well-built sewers, supplied the

occupants of Rome with as much water per person as is

provided in many parts of the industrial world today.

During the industrial revolution and population explosion

of the 19^th and 20^th centuries, the demand for water rose

dramatically. Unprecedented construction of tens of

thousands of monumental engineering projects designed to

control floods,-protect clean water supplies, and provide

water for irrigation and hydropower brought great benefits

to hundreds of millions of people. Food production has kept

pace with soaring populations mainly because of the

expansion of artificial irrigation systems that make possible

the growth of 40% of the world's food. Nearly one fifth of all

the electricity generated worldwide is produced by turbines

spun by the power of falling water .

provide the humanity with food.

B) In the greatest period of the Roman Empire water was

not an issue.

C) New engineering projects solved existing water problem.

D) Almost 50% of the world's electricity is based on falling
