private american organization called population action international did the new study. it says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people lack enough water now. the people live in twenty-eight countries. most of the countries are in africa or the middle east. p-a-i researcher robert engelman says by the year 2025, about three-thousand-million people may lack water. at least 18

problems. it may increase health problems. lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. mr. engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. lack of water may also result in more international conflict. countries may have to compete for water in the future. some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from
