拯救哈斯克斯坦咸海
1、The Aral Sea has been shrinking for 40 years due to disastrous Soviet agricultural policies in the 1970s that allowed farmers in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to divert water from two rivers, the Amy Darya and the Syr Darya, to irrigate cotton crops. While the southern Big Sea is still shrinking, World Bank loans to Kazakhstan are focused on saving the Small Sea.
40年来,位于哈萨克斯坦边境处的咸海(旧译阿拉海,是一个大咸水湖)的水面一直在不断缩减。咸海分为南部的大海和北部的小海,目前,大海还在不断缩减,但世界银行已经贷款给哈萨克斯坦用于拯救小海的工程。
