Introduction

本報告探討印度德里的惡劣天氣與水資源問題。
Main Body
The weather is changing. A thing called El Niño may happen in 2026. This means less rain for India. Many people in India are farmers. They need rain to grow food. No rain means no food.
天氣正在改變。2026年可能會出現所謂的「聖嬰現象」。這意味著印度的降雨量將會減少。許多印度人是農民，他們需要雨水來種植食物。沒有雨就沒有食物。
Some places help people better than others. In India, the government builds big things but does not ask people for help. In Bangladesh, the government works with local people and women. This way works better to stop risks.
有些地方提供援助的方式比其他地方更好。在印度，政府興建大型工程，但並不徵詢民眾的意見。在孟加拉，政府與當地居民及女性合作。這種方式在降低風險方面更為有效。
Delhi has a big water problem. The city has water, but 50% of it leaks from pipes or people steal it. Delhi also gets most of its water from other places. This causes fights between states. Also, the city destroyed many natural lakes.
德里面臨嚴重的水資源問題。城市雖然有水，但 50% 的水會從水管滲漏或被盜用。德里大部分的水源來自其他地區，這導致了各州之間的衝突。此外，該市還破壞了許多天然湖泊。
Conclusion
India must fix its water pipes and work with local people to stay safe from bad weather.
印度必須修復其水管並與當地居民合作，才能在惡劣天氣中確保安全。
