" People are suffering because the aquifers are getting salinized, " he said.

“人们正在遭受痛苦，因为含水层正在盐碱化”。

Environmental implications One of the most explicit impacts of river water salinization is on biodiversity.

影响河水盐碱化最明显的影响之一是对生物多样性的影响。

For example, in California, agricultural damage due to water salinization costs billions of dollars annually.

例如，在加利福尼亚州，水盐碱化造成的农业损失每年要花费数十亿美元。

In recent decades, the salinization of river water has been studied, and analyses have identified the causes and impacts.

近几十年来，人们对河水盐碱化进行了研究，并分析了其原因影响。

They say changing ocean patterns, extreme storms, and too much water use, add to the salinity problem in the Kochi area.

他们表示，不断变化的海洋模式、极端风暴过度用水都加剧了科奇地区的盐碱化问题。

On these relatively saline and poor soils with little rainfall, we find a crop that can deliver fantastic yields.

在这些相对盐碱化且降雨量少的贫瘠土壤上，我们发现了一种可以带来惊人产量的作物。

So the sea was being destroyed to grow crops, but the crops couldn’t grow because of more salinization.

因此，海洋被破坏以种植农作物， 但由于更多的盐碱化，农作物无法生长。

They include a lack of breathable oxygen, harmful ultraviolet radiation, salty soil, and dust storms that sometimes cover much of the planet.

它们包括缺乏可呼吸的氧气、有害的紫射、土壤盐碱化以及有时覆盖地球大部分地区的沙尘暴。

The salinization of rivers and streams also represents increased monetary costs to the agriculture industry due to impacts on crops that decrease yields.

河流溪流的盐碱化也增加了农业的货币成本，因为对作物的影响降低了产量。

Scientists call this process " salinization." The term comes from the word " saline" -- which means a mixture of salt and water.

科学家称这一过程为“盐碱化”，这个词汇来自盐水这个词，也就是盐水的混合物。

Finally, this leads to urinary stasis, which starts a vicious circle, promoting bacterial multiplication, urinary alkalinization, and the deposition of new layers of struvite.

最终导致尿潴留，尿液的潴留继续促进细菌增殖，尿液碱化，沉积成新的结石，形成恶性循坏。

It's good for our alkalizing your system, and instead of lemon water, which is apparently very bad for your teeth, it's delicious.

这对我们碱化您的系统有好处，而且柠檬水显然对您的牙齿非常有害，但它很美味。

All of the newly exposed land would be a salty, dry, and fiercely hot desert that would be incredibly hostile to any form of life or settlement.

所有新暴露出来的土地都将是一片盐碱化、干燥、极度炎热的沙漠，对任何形式的生命或定居点都极其不利。

The extreme seriousness of desertification results from the vast areas of land and the tremendous numbers of people affected, as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the process.

造成土地沙漠化的最后一个主要人为因素在于人类过度灌溉导致土壤的盐碱化。灌溉多余的水渗透到地下水位。假如没有排水系统的存在，那么地下水位上升，把溶解的盐分带到土壤表面。水分蒸发后，盐分留在了表面，形成白色的地壳层，这一地壳层阻止了空气水接触地底下的土壤。以及扭转甚至减缓这一过程的巨大困难。
