新泽西岛因15个月的降雨量低而发出干旱警报,敦促节水。 New Jersey issues drought warning due to 15 months of low rainfall, urging water conservation.

新泽西州已发出干旱警告,因为该国已接近第二个连续的冬季,降雨量低于平均水平,水库和地下水位低,西部和中部地区尤其如此。 New Jersey has issued a drought warning as the state nears its second straight winter with below-average rainfall, with reservoirs and groundwater levels low, especially in the west and central regions. 由于最近的暴风雨,只有沿海地区仍然相对不受影响。 Only coastal areas remain relatively unaffected due to recent storms. 警报是紧急措施之前的最高警告,是在降水量低于平均水平15个月之后发出的,引起人们对缺水和野火风险增加的关切。 The warning, the highest level before emergency measures, follows 15 months of below-average precipitation and comes amid concerns over water shortages and increased wildfire risk. 尽管没有强制性限制措施,但官员敦促居民使用回收水的洗车器和检查漏水情况,仅当水满时使用自来水器来节约用水。 Though no mandatory restrictions are in place, officials urge residents to conserve water by running appliances only when full, using water-recycling car washes, and checking for leaks.
