watered some of the oldest farms on earth. But now it j has a serious problem. 1       In most of the past 35 f years,it didn’t reach the sea.

  The Nile in Egypt,running 6，650 km,is the longest river in the world. 2       Now it is down to 2 billion m’ or so.Australia’s Murray River reaches the sea only every other year. One fifth ofAmerica’s Rio Grande  has no water,either.  3
