问题 单项选择题

国际水源资源管理研究所23日在这里指出,大约有80个国家、占世界40%的人口正面临着严重的水资源短缺问题,这些国家的农业、工业和人们的健康正受到威胁。
由于水资源短缺,目前发展中国家有13亿人口缺乏干净的饮用水,20亿人没有足够的卫生设施。
这个研究所的专家们认为,水资源短缺将会成为制约发展中国家农业生产的主要因素。发展中国家大约有10亿多人口生活在干旱地区,到2025年时他们将会面临“绝对”缺水的形势,也就是说他们将没有足够的水资源来维持1990年的粮食生产人均水平,即使灌溉效率能得到大大提高,但家庭、工业和环境等方面的用水需要仍会对有限的水资源造成威胁。
专家们说,采用新的技术和对水资源实行更好的管理,有助于改变下世纪水资源短缺的局面,但考虑到水资源开发计划及更好的管理需要很长时间才能见成效,因此重要的是在水资源危机到来之前,就要预先考虑到可能出现的问题和及时采取行动。

本文主要谈的是:

A.各国农业生产的前景
B.世界人口问题
C.某些国家缺水问题
D.各国工业发展规划
