Представление культурного образца

Now I present you the sample on our theme:

1) The first ecological problem is the Aral Sea’s problem.

Unwise use of water for irrigation led to the current state of the Aral Sea.

Tons of salt cover the former bed of the Sea. The wind blows the salt dust for thousands of kilometers. As a result, everything around suffer.

2) The second problem is The Caspian Sea’s problem.

The water level of the Caspian Sea has been rising for reasons that scientists couldn’t explain. If current increase persists, a lot of fields could be flooded by 2020.

3) The next problem is Air and water pollution.

In some cities concentrations of toxic substances are greater by tens of time than maximum permissible concentrations.

4) Wind erosion is the next problem.

Desertification is performed in the northern and central parts of the republic because much soil was lost as part of Khrushchev's Virgin Lands agricultural project.

5) One more problem is Semipalatinsk nuclear test site.

Serious threat comes from radiation, especially in the Semey region, where the Soviet Union tested almost 500 nuclear weapons, 116 of them above ground.
