Description: An abandoned car on a beach.The car's doors are plied open, the trunk is exposed, and a large wheel hangs out of the front passenger's seat. A body of water is seen in the background.
English transcr.: Water pollution: an international problem. Rivers and seas are becoming more and more polluted as they carry along detergents, chemical products and refuge of all kinds. Abandoned cars are left to rust on sea fronts and roadsides, thus marring the beauty of the countryside. In the face of this growing peril, a number of countries in the world launched, five years ago, an "International Hydrological Decade" to ensure a continuing supply of pure water for man, and UNESCO has prepared a report on the first results which have been obtained.
French transcr.: La pollution des eaux : fléau international. Partout, les rivières et les mers charrient des détergents, des produits chimiques et de détritus de toutes sortes. Des carcasses de voiture hors d'usage abandonnées le long des routes et des rivages, enlaidissent les paysages... Devant l'ampleur de ce péril, les États du monde ont lancé, il y a cinq ans, une "décennie hydrologique internationale" pour sauver l'eau pure des hommes et l'UNESCO a procédé à un inventaire des premiers résultats obtenus.
