得克萨斯州立法者在对含水层保护的关切中就防止新的水出口的法案进行辩论。 Texas legislators debate bill to prevent new water exports amid aquifer protection concerns.

得克萨斯州立法者正在辩论一项法案,以阻止东得克萨斯州新的水出口,有些人提议暂停发放新的水许可证,直到完成对该地区含水层的研究。 Texas lawmakers are debating a bill to halt new water exports from East Texas, with some proposing a moratorium on new water permits until a study on the region's aquifer is completed. 参议院在没有暂停死刑的情况下通过了该法案的版本,像Rep. Cody Harris这样的批评者说,这破坏了该法案的目的。 The Senate passed a version of the bill without this moratorium, which critics like Rep. Cody Harris say undermines the bill’s purpose. 这项研究由得克萨斯水资源开发委员会进行,将评估抽取地下水的影响。 The study, conducted by the Texas Water Development Board, will assess the impact of groundwater pumping. 辩论的核心是平衡捕捉规则,使土地所有者能够从其财产中抽水,同时保护含水层免受可能的过度使用。 The debate centers on balancing the rule of capture, which allows landowners to pump water from their property, with the need to protect the aquifer from potential overuse.
