The researchers estimated that restoring the more than 4 million square kilometres of degraded wetlands to an ideal water levelwould avoidbetween 100 and 400 gigatonnes of carbon-equivalent emissions by the end of the century – a greater reduction than what would be achieved with all of the forest restoration projects that countries around the world have committed to.
研究人员估计，如果把400多万平方公里的退化湿地恢复到理想的水位，那么到本世纪末将避免1000到4000亿吨的碳当量排放——这比世界各国所有的承诺的恢复森林的项目加起来能够减少的碳排放量都要多。

In a midterm campaign season dominated by inflation, abortion, and crime, there’s another issue that is becoming more urgent in Western states: drought. The topic of water historically hasplayed little to no role incampaign ads in much of the region, but funding to fight drought is coming up now in door-knocking campaigns and is on the long list of talking points that advocacy groups are using to rally voters in two states with vulnerable Democraticincumbentsandloomingwater cuts: Nevada and Arizona.
在通胀、堕胎和犯罪成为中期竞选季的主要议题之际，在西部各州，还有一个问题变得更加紧迫:干旱。在西部的大部分地区，水相关话题在竞选广告中一直很少或根本没有扮演什么角色，但现在，为抗旱提供资金的宣传活动开始出现在上门宣传活动中，而且在民主党现任官员地位脆弱、供水即将削减的内华达州和亚利桑那州，这一议题也成为了各个倡导团体用来拉拢选民的诸多宣讲主题之一。
“This issue appeals to the economic anxiety of our voters and our people,” said Angel Lazcano, a Las Vegas-based organizer for Somos Votantes, which seeks to mobilize Latino voters across swing states.
“这个问题迎合了我们选民和人民对经济的焦虑，”“我们值得信任”组织驻拉斯维加斯的组织者安赫尔·拉兹卡诺说，该组织试图在摇摆州动员拉丁裔选民。
Federal officials recently announced that Nevada and Arizona would get far less water in 2023 as thestrangleholdon the Colorado River worsens because of drought, climate change, and demand. The federal government threatened to impose deeper, broader cuts if the seven states that depend on the waterway can’t agree on how to use less.
联邦政府官员最近表示，由于干旱、气候变化和（更多的用水）需求，科罗拉多河的供水压力更大，内华达州和亚利桑那州在2023年划拨的水量将大幅减少。联邦政府提出警示，如果依赖该水道的七个州无法就如何减少用水量达成一致，联邦政府将实施更深入、更大范围的削减供水。
The two vulnerable incumbents whose states are hit hardest by the cuts – Catherine Cortez Masto, of Nevada, and Mark Kelly, of Arizona – seized on the opportunity to seek funding through the federal legislation. They were joined by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, who is seeking reelection in Colorado, and Arizona’s Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. The four Western senators negotiated $4 billion in last-minute funding to help address the region’s growing water crisis in the Inflation Reduction Act.
内华达州的凯瑟琳·科尔特斯·马斯托和亚利桑那州的马克·凯利，这两名地位岌岌可危的现任议员所在的州受到用水分配削减打击最为严重，他们抓住了通过联邦立法寻求资金帮助的机会。寻求连任的科罗拉多州参议员迈克尔·班纳特和亚利桑那州参议员克里斯滕·西内马也加入了他们的行列。这四名西部州参议员在最后一刻通过谈判获得了40亿美元的资金，用来帮助解决这些地区在《降低通货膨胀法案》中产生的日益严重的水危机。
In tight races in Nevada and Arizona, the Colorado River basin cuts and last-minute $4 billion in drought-relief funding will serve as a test of how influential access to water will be in deciding two of the most consequential Senate races this cycle. Though still not allocated, the drought relief funding will generally pay farmers to leave fields unplanted and will pay for water conservation and habitat restoration projects.
