The government is planning to invest billions in a system of canals, pipelines and aqueducts to divert water from the soggy south to the parched north.
政府正在计划投资几十亿建一个由水渠、水管和高架水道构成的系统,将水从潮湿的南方转调到干旱的北方。
As towns gradually expanded, water was brought from increasingly remote sources, leading to sophisticated engineering efforts such as dams and aqueducts.
随着城镇的逐渐扩大,水资源要从越来越远的地方获得,这就需要建造如水坝和引水渠这样复杂的工程。
Dams, aqueducts and other kinds of infrastructure will still have to be built, particularly in developing countries where basic human needs have not been met.
