英语翻译Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers

英语翻译
Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger,but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.You may wonder that paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water.A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater.Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.it comes from underground.The more roads and parking lots we pave,the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.
However,paving is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall,but in any case,good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet out our basic need.
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too.In the United States a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live,but there’s a list we can do to lower the number.
You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with,use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher(洗碗机) only when it is full.Help your parents fix any leaks in your home.You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

过度的浪费生活用水,或者向河道中抛扔垃圾废弃物等这一类事情,都是人们做的会造成水资源危机的很明显的一些行为,可是,还有一些行为方式,虽然不是很明显,但也会对我们的用水有影响.例如,铺建道路的时候,就会导致可利用的淡水资源的减少,你可能会感到好奇,这是为什么呢?我们每天所用的水一大部分是地下水,它来自于地底下,而不是湖泊或者河流. 越多的道路和停车场被建的话,那么, 越少的水可以流到地底下变成地下水了.

然而,铺建道路并不是造成所有水资源短缺的原因.干燥气候地区当然比雨水充足地区更容易形成干旱,但是,无论如何,有效的管理是可以帮助我们保证有足够的水满足日常所需的.仔细琢磨我们平时的生活用水方式,也可以起到很大的作用.在美国,一个四口之家一天的用水量就达到1.5吨,这表明,我们的生活需要多么大的用水量,但是,有一长串的措施可以减小这个数字.

在家里可以采取一些措施来节约用水 .首先,你可以一天用同一个水杯喝水,一天洗一次水杯.其次,等洗碗机装满碗了以后再洗.帮助父母修理家里任何漏水的地方,你甚至可以通过回收（不是扔掉）旧电池来保持我们生活用水的清洁.
