新西兰在关于可行性的辩论中考虑225M大坝,以确保农业用水。 New Zealand considers $225M dam to secure water for agriculture, amid viability debates.

新西兰霍克湾地区理事会正在探索一个2.25亿美元的Ngāruroro河支流水坝项目,以改善该区域农业和经济的用水安全。 The Hawke's Bay Regional Council in New Zealand is exploring a $225 million dam project on a Ngāruroro River tributary to improve water security for the region's agriculture and economy. 水坝将储存冬季水,供夏季使用,为含水层提供补给,并支持增长。 The dam would store winter water for summer use, recharging aquifers and supporting growth. 可行性研究耗资320万美元,并与政府分享,将确定该项目在商业上是否可行,在环境上是否可持续。 The feasibility study, costing $3.2 million and shared with the government, will determine if the project is commercially viable and environmentally sustainable. 然而,批评者争辩说,大坝在财政上可能不可行,因此建议采用较小的替代办法。 Critics, however, argue that the dam may not be financially viable and suggests smaller alternatives.
