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

“人们正遭受痛苦，因为含水层正盐碱化”。

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

环境影响河水盐碱化最明显影响之一是对生物样性影响。

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

，加利福尼亚州，水盐碱化造成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，不断变化海洋模式、极端风暴过度用水都加剧了科奇地区盐碱化问题。

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

这些相对盐碱化且降雨量少贫瘠土壤上，我们发现了一种可以带来惊人产量作物。

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氧气、有害紫外线辐射、土壤盐碱化以及有时覆盖地球大部分地区沙尘暴。

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

河流溪流盐碱化也增加了农业货币成本，因为对作物影响降低了产量。

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，尿液潴留继续促进细菌增殖，尿液碱化，沉积成新结石，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.

这对我们碱化您系统有好处，而且柠檬水显然对您牙齿非常有害，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.

所有新暴露出来土地都将是一片盐碱化、干燥、极度炎热沙漠，对任何形式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.

造成土地沙漠化最后一个主要人为因素于人类过度灌溉导致土壤盐碱化。灌溉余水渗透到地下水位。假没有排水系统存，那么地下水位上升，把溶解盐分带到土壤表面。水分蒸发后，盐分留了表面，形成白色地壳层，这一地壳层阻止了空气水接触地底下土壤。以及扭转甚至减缓这一过程巨大困难。
