简陋的排水系统,而不仅仅是雨水,造成尼日利亚一再发生水灾,冒着疾病的风险,要求紧急修复基础设施。 Poor drainage, not just rain, causes Nigeria’s repeated floods, risking disease and demanding urgent infrastructure fixes.

环境保护学家查尔斯·戴 (Charles Deigh) 表示, 尼日利亚城市经常发生洪水, Poorly designed and maintained drainage systems are a major cause of recurring urban flooding in Nigeria, according to environmentalist Charles Deigh, who attributes frequent floods in Lagos and states like Bayelsa, Benue, and Rivers to blocked or undersized channels rather than rain alone. 洪水往往与污水混在一起,增加了霍乱和其他水传播疾病的风险。 Floodwaters often mix with sewage, raising risks of cholera and other waterborne diseases. 随着尼日利亚气象局在2025年预测超常降雨量,Deigh敦促政府从应急转向主动措施,包括执行建筑法规、扩大排水网络和改善废物管理。 With the Nigerian Meteorological Agency forecasting above-normal rainfall in 2025, Deigh urged the government to shift from emergency responses to proactive measures, including enforcing building codes, expanding drainage networks, and improving waste management.
