Read the following text and answer the questions :-
Coleridge's poem, a ballad narrates the harrowing sea-voyage of an old mariner who at one point of his journey didn't have any water to drink because of a curse. Cursed or not, we know how important drinking water is in our life. We know we cannot survive without it. In fact two-thirds of our body is made up of water. Not for nothing is it said that the other name of water is life. Is there a crisis in our time with regard to access to clean drinking water? The United Nations in a meeting on the eve of the new millennium identified the drinking water problem as one of the challenges for the future. But do we need to worry about the problem as ours is a land of rivers and we have plenty of rainfall. Besides, we have a sea in our backyard too. One of the sources of water in our country are rivers. Rivers are everywhere in our life, literature,
economy and culture. But are the rivers in good shape? Unfortunately, they are not. A few are already dead and several are going through the pangs of death. The river Buriganga is an example of a dying river. A report published in the Daily Sun describes what has happened to the river Buriganga and why. It's water is polluted and a perpetual stench fills the air around it. But that is not what it was like before.
The United Nations has identified the drinking water problem as a challenge because access to clean and safe drinking water is becoming a serious concern worldwide. Even though some countries have abundant water sources like rivers, rainfall, and seas, many people still face difficulties in obtaining safe water for daily use. Ensuring clean drinking water is crucial for human health and survival, and addressing this issue is one of the important challenges for the future.
