密西西比河水位因干旱创2004年以来新低 | 口语小本本spoken.cc

[00:00.00]The United States Coast Guard says 
[00:01.39]right now in the St Louis area, 
[00:03.25]the Mississippi River level has dropped 
[00:05.11]to minus 1.88, a level that 
[00:07.67]hasn't been recorded since 2004.
[00:10.00]In about a week we're projected to go to 
[00:11.81]minus 3 which will be about the 
[00:14.52]25th lowest that it's ever been.
[00:16.36]The last time in this area that we've seen 
[00:19.40]significantly low water was 
[00:20.80]approximately the 2012-2013 season.
[00:23.39]From historic flooding this summer 
[00:24.98]to Historic drought this fall, 
[00:26.91]the primary investigator at the water institute 
[00:29.30]says this is an indicator of 
[00:30.75]how drastically the climate is changing.
[00:32.97]We're going to see more floods like that, 
[00:34.71]and we're going to see more droughts 
[00:36.23]like we're seeing now, but, yeah, that was 
[00:38.15]something and it really just speaks to the 
[00:40.75]importance of good water management.
[00:42.17]US Coast Guard Commander Daniel Every 
[00:44.45]says between the Upper Mississippi river 
[00:46.29]and the Illinois River, we see 42 to 60 
[00:49.13]billion dollars in economic activity.
[00:51.20]Particularly crops that are loaded on barges 
[00:53.48]and sent down the river to New Orleans 
[00:55.48]where their shipped worldwide, 
[00:56.72]but hundreds of barges are 
[00:58.35]having trouble getting through.
[00:59.58]When the water is real wide, 
[01:01.80]when the river level is up, they're able 
[01:02.67]to pass each other safely, but in reduced 
[01:04.71]water levels like we have right now.
[01:06.50]They have to be extra cautious when they 
[01:08.32]are navigating and they meet one another.
[01:10.39]That directly impacts your pocketbook.
[01:13.26]Food prices are going up, 
[01:14.76]Energy prices might be impacted, 
[01:16.67]it takes more to clean our water.
[01:18.65]And so those are the implications 
[01:21.22]for people I think on a day-to-day basis, 
[01:23.49]and so how do we deal with that?
[01:25.10]People talk about voting all the time, 
[01:27.21]but really that is where we need to be 
[01:28.99]thinking and we need to be thinking about 
[01:30.93]the conservation of our freshwater resources.
