Instructions
* Drag the correct answer into all target fields
Lake    Victoria    is    at    the    centre    ofa    perfect    storm    of    environment    crises    today.    Mil    lions    of    litres      sewage    and    industrial    waste    flow    into    lake    Victoria    every    week,    fou    ling    its    waters.    Agricultural    into    the    lake    is    high    and    excessive    of    natural    vegetation    along    its    shoreline    has    affected    its    ecology.    A    booming    fish    export    industry    has    lead    to    the    extinction    of    many    of    the    lake's    fishes,    and    exploding    algae    blooms    now    regularly    sullocate    the    lake's    flora    and    fauna.    Water    hyacinth    has    become    a    major    plant    species.    Even    Lake    Victoria's    circumference    is    shrinking.    The    reason?    lake    Victoria    is    unique    in    that    most    of    its    water    (some    80%)    comes    from    falling    directly    onto    its    surface,    not    water    from    innowing    rivers    and    streams.    Thus.    Lake    Victoria    is    highly    vulnerable    to    global    warming.    Any    decrease    in        causes    this    incredibly    shallow    lake    (the    average    depth    is    just    80    metres)    to    shrink    in    size.
