匈牙利农民和志愿人员通过将温泉水转用于恢复遭受干旱的农田来防治荒漠化。 Hungarian farmers and volunteers combat desertification by diverting spa water to restore drought-stricken farmland.

在匈牙利南部的Holikkhátság地区,严重干旱和地下水不断减少,一度肥沃的农田正在变成沙漠般的地貌。 In southern Hungary’s Homokhátság region, severe drought and declining groundwater are turning once-fertile farmland into a desert-like landscape. 当地农民及志工(称为“水守护者”)正反击, 从附近的温泉中改用冷却净化热水, 淹没2.5公顷的田地, 以恢复土壤湿度, 提高水位, 创造稳定微气候。 Local farmers and volunteers, known as the “water guardians,” are fighting back by redirecting cooled, purified thermal water from nearby spas to flood a 2.5-hectare field, aiming to restore soil moisture, raise the water table, and create a stabilizing microclimate. 这一努力受到多瑙河和蒂萨河在输送之前发生的历史性洪水的启发,创造了浅沼泽,为扭转荒漠化带来了希望。 The effort, inspired by historical flooding from the Danube and Tisza Rivers before they were channelized, has created a shallow marsh and offers hope for reversing desertification. 2024年的一项研究将该地区干燥程度的恶化与阻碍降雨、加剧土壤干燥的干燥空气层联系起来。 A 2024 study linked the area’s worsening dryness to dry air layers that block rainfall, exacerbating soil drying. 这项倡议得到了匈牙利新的干旱问题工作队的支持,反映了欧洲最迅速干旱地区之一的基层对气候引起的土地退化的反应。 The initiative, supported by Hungary’s new drought task force, reflects a grassroots response to climate-driven land degradation in one of Europe’s most rapidly aridifying regions.
