Переведите текст. england needs more rain those who complain about our weather may be surprised to learn that there are some people in england who want more rain. we certainly have greater amount of water than many other countries, but we don’t get as much as we need. two or three weeks in the summer without rain and we have problems. the trouble is partly that the rain falls in the wrong place, partly that we can’t store enough of it, and partly that we use much more than we need. most of britain’s rain falls in wales and scotland, but we need it in the drier south-east england, and midlands. of course we store this water and send it to the other parts of the country. birmingham, for example, the second largest city in england, gets its water from north wales. but our reservoirs are now a hundred years old and need to be much larger. both at home and in our factories we use much more water than we did a hundred years ago. it takes 100,000 gallons of water to make one car. factories at least pay for the water they employ, but in our homes we only pay to have water. after that we can use as much as we want. finally, what we have left in our rivers is so dirty that we can’t use it. to cope with this problem isn’t simple. first we must find a way of keeping our water clean. factories needn’t use so much, they must learn to reuse water and go ahead with studying the new ways of using water from the sea.
