解析：

(1)	解析：文章第一句便点题“在全世界可以使用的水的总量一直是人们感兴趣的”故引起下文“拥有泉水或溪流有时意味着控制”，故选owning．using使用，holding可是抓住，掌握权力，担任职务，finding发现与control不同意义的词。
(2)	解析：因为下文提到like the desert所以此空为dryarea．（dcscrted荒芜，废弃的地方不一定缺少水）。
(3)	解析：“rich land”译为“富饶肥沃的土地”本句暗示出“人们控制水要比拥有富饶肥沃的土地还重要”。
(4)	解析：uncommon译为“不寻常的”，本句中“not uncommon”即为“common”便说明为争水而引起争斗打仗是常事可见水是重要的。
(5)	解析：“make laws to do”制订法律做为固定搭配。design设计（图、方案），sign签署。
(6)	解析：settlers译为外来殖民者
(7)	解析：as作为关系代词引导非限制性定语从句（正如我们大家都知道的）。
(8)	解析：由上文可知水并不是像人们想的那样用之不完，取之不竭的，因此“there is not enough water…”．
(9)	解析：the amount of…的数量
(10)	解析：require“要求”根据上下文可知用水要求有计划节约使用。
(11)	解析：根据上下文选effectively译为“有效地”。
(12)	解析：according to介词短语，意为“根据”。
(13)	解析：correct water supply forcast中correct译为正确的或准确的（准确的供水预报）。
(14)	解析：该空与下文below相对使用故填above
(15)	解析：rising表示增加，此空需填不及物动词。
(16)	解析：mountain tops 山顶上。（rock岩石，tree树，tip尖端，不合题意）
(17)	解析：make use of固定词组，译为“使用、利用”。
(18)	解析：gathered一词译为“收集到的”过去分词作定语。
(19)	解析：press a button按开关。
(20)	解析：用情态动词will更含有一种趋势，可能性，运用地表水成为一种趋势。
