……（抽取地下水、采掘化肥、源自化石燃料的杀虫剂、柴油等等）本质上都只是权宜之计。可持续水资源管理策略的起点，或许可以是 P.A. Yeoman 的《Water For Every Farm》[1]，它基本上是围绕土地拓扑结构进行设计，来收集、储存/下渗雨水。现代农业则是尽快把雨水排离土地，最大化地形成地表径流，好让拖拉机能开上去……
…(aquifer pumping, mined fertilizers, fossil fuel-derived pesticides, diesel, etc) are by their nature only temporary solutions. The start of a sustainable water management strategy might be P.A. Yeoman's Water For Every Farm[1], basically designing around land topology to harvest and store/infiltrate rainwater. Modern agriculture shunts rainwater off the land as fast as possible, maximizing runoff so that tractors can drive…
……但并不是像上面那些项目那样在大尺度景观范围内进行。关于具体怎么做的基本原理，最好的书大概是 Brad Lancaster 写的《Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond》。另外 P.A. Yeomans 写的《Water For Every Farm》也挺不错，只是读起来没那么通俗。TLDR——要防止沙漠季风淹没下游地区，就在大尺度景观上挖一个由洼水沟和蓄水池组成的网络，去拦截、渗透……
…not at the landscape wide scales like the projects above. Probably the best book on the basic principles of how to do it - Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond by Brad Lancaster. Also the book Water For Every Farm by P.A. Yeomans is pretty good as well, but not as accessible of a read. TLDR - To keep desert monsoons from flooding areas downstream, dig a landscape wide network of swales and basins to catch, soak…
……终极目标吗？我更倾向于免费的、生态系统自带的海水淡化（也就是屋顶雨水收集）。至于农业用水，我强烈建议买一本 P.A. Yeoman 的经典著作《Water For Every Farm》。它详细阐述了如何通过合理的径流管理、蒸发控制和适度规模的土方工程，在几乎零能源投入的情况下提供可靠的可用水源［当然，太阳能除外］。至于……
…the ultimate goal? I much prefer free, ecosystem-provided desalination (aka rooftop rain-water harvesting). As for agricultural water use, I highly suggest picking up a copy of P.A. Yeoman's classic Water For Every Farm. It details how proper runoff management, evaporation control, and correctly-scaled earthworks can provide reliable water availability with near-zero energy inputs [other than the sun, of course]. As…
