And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been【B3】______
    At the moment, this small【B4】______of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our demand for water is increasing rapidly. Only if we take steps to【B5】______with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on.
