印度地下水使用比中美加起来更多，印网友：中国人不洗澡的

India uses up more groundwater than US and China

印度使用的地下水比美国和中国使用的多

Right on the edge of the Ganga basin that spans 11 Indian states lies Naujhil block, a few kilometres west of the Yamuna in UP's Mathura district. You would think this is a blessed location with plentiful water all round. With its 17 tributaries, including the Yamuna, Ganga's catchment area has about 525 billion cubic metres (bcm) of surface water and about 171 bcm of groundwater.

横跨11个邦的恒河流域边缘坐落着Naujhil ，那里距离北方邦的亚穆纳以西只有几公里。

你会觉得那是一个宝地，周围有着丰富的水资源。

17条支流经过，包括亚穆纳河

恒河的下游区有着大约5250亿立方米的地表水和171亿立方的地下水。

Just 18% of rainwater is used effectively while 48% enters the river systems, most of which just fl ows into the ocean, according to Narayan Hegde, a water expert with the BAIF Research Development Foundation. "Farm ponds, percolation tanks, water reservoirs and small and medium-sized dams can help retain more surface water while increasing the groundwater recharge," he told TOI.

水利专家Narayan Hegde对印度时报表示，只有18%的雨水得到有效利用，而48%流入了河流，大多数最终流入了大海。

他说，“田间蓄水坑塘、贮水池、水库和中小型大坝，有助储存更多地表水，同时加大地下水补给。”

This would ease some of the pressure off groundwater usage that has pushed 29% of the country's blocks into the "over-exploited" category, that is, where groundwater withdrawal is more than the possible recharge. This indiscriminate withdrawal, as in Naujhil, has led India to showing an annual groundwater usage that is more than the combined usage by the US and China. Studies by Nasa using satellite imagery show that the Indus basin, which includes the high food producing states of Punjab and Haryana, is one of the most stressed aquifers in the world.

这减轻了地下水使用的压力，目前该国有29%的地区处于“过度开采”状态。

地下水开采，超过了地下水补给。

正如在Naujhil，不加选择的开采，使得印度每年的地下水使用超过中美使用之和。

How do we define water wastage? Amount of water that flows into the sea?

如何衡量浪费多少水？

是流入大海的水量吗？
