The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans.
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink.

But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.

Tess was a little girl. Her brother was very sick. But her family didn't have money to send him to the hospital. "Only a miracle(奇迹)can save him now,"said her dad.
Tess got out all the money she had saved. Then she walked a long way to the pharmacy(药店)."What do you want?"the pharmacist asked.
"Well, my brother is sick," Tess answered. "My daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much is a miracle?"
"We don't sell miracles here. I'm sorry but I can't help you,"the pharmacist said.
"I have the money to pay. Just tell me how much it costs."
A well﹣dressed man was standing nearby. He asked the little girl:"What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"He needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it."Tess replied with tears in her eyes.
"How much do you have?" asked the man.
"One dollar and 11cents," Tess answered.
"Well,"smiled the man."A dollar and 11cents﹣that's just the price of a miracle for your little brother."
He took her money and said:"Take me to your home. I want to see your brother. Maybe I have the kind of miracle you need."
That man was a famous doctor. He gave the boy the operation for free. Before long, the boy was home again and doing well.
"That operation," her mom said to her dad quietly, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost."
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and 11cents…and the love and faith(信心)of a little child.
