Many towns in Manitoba and Saskatchewan have a big problem. Heavy rain made the rivers rise and broke roads and pipes.

曼尼托巴省與薩斯喀徹溫省的許多城鎮正面临嚴重問題。豪雨導致河水水位上升，並損毀了道路與管線。

The ground is too wet. It cannot hold more water. In Manitoba, the towns of Minnedosa and Brandon are in danger. The government sent soldiers and workers to help build walls against the water.

地面太過潮濕，無法吸收更多水分。在曼尼托巴省，Minnedosa 和 Brandon 兩個城鎮正處於危險之中。政府已派遣士兵與工人協助建造防洪牆。

In Saskatchewan, seventeen towns have big problems. The Assiniboine River went over its banks. This water went into farms and houses. Many people have water in their basements.

在薩斯喀徹溫省，有十七個城鎮面臨嚴重問題。Assiniboine 河水氾濫，水流進入了農場與民宅。許多人的地下室被淹沒。

The pipes in the cities are too small. They cannot move the water away. Now, the government wants to build better pipes for the future.

城市中的管線過小，無法將水有效排出。因此，政府目前計畫為未來建設更好的管線。

Leaders are still worried. The weather reports say there will be more heavy rain soon.

領導者們仍然感到憂心。天氣預報顯示不久後將會有更多豪雨。

Heavy rainfall has forced several municipalities in western Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan to declare local emergencies because of rising river levels and failing infrastructure.

由於河水水位上升與基礎設施損壞，強降雨迫使曼尼托巴省西部與薩斯喀徹溫省東部的幾個市鎮宣布局部緊急狀態。

The current flooding crisis was caused by saturated soil. Environment and Climate Change Canada reported that previous rains filled the ground to its limit, meaning new rain cannot be absorbed and instead flows across the surface. In Manitoba, the Town of Minnedosa and the City of Brandon have declared states of emergency to allow for the use of heavy machinery and the installation of flood barriers. Specifically, the Little Saskatchewan River is expected to rise by about 60 centimeters. Consequently, the federal government has sent the Canadian Armed Forces and Team Rubicon to the Parkland region to support local teams.

此次洪水危機是由於土壤飽和引起的。加拿大環境與氣候變更部報告指出，之前的降雨已使土壤達到飽和狀態，這意味著新降雨無法被吸收，而是會在地面流動。在曼尼托巴省，Minnedosa鎮與Brandon市已宣布進入緊急狀態，以便使用重型機械並安裝防洪屏障。特別是 Little Saskatchewan 河預計將上升約 60 公分。因此，聯邦政府已派遣加拿大武裝部隊與 Team Rubicon 前往 Parkland 地區支援當地團隊。

At the same time, eastern Saskatchewan is facing serious infrastructure problems, with seventeen communities declaring emergencies. The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency is currently coordinating the delivery of equipment. Minister Michael Weger emphasized that the Assiniboine River has overflowed its banks, damaging farmland, while cities have dealt with sewage backups because drainage systems are insufficient. Initial reports show that approximately 70 percent of residential basements in one town east of Saskatoon have been flooded. As a result, officials plan to review and redesign drainage infrastructure to prevent these issues in the future.

與此同時，薩斯喀徹溫省東部面臨嚴重的基礎設施問題，已有 17 個社區宣布緊急狀態。薩斯喀徹溫省公共安全局目前正協調設備的運送。部長 Michael Weger 強調 Assiniboine 河已氾濫，損毀了農田，而城市則因排水系統不足而面臨污水回流問題。初步報告顯示，在薩斯卡通東部的一個城鎮中，約 70% 的住宅地下室被淹沒。因此，官員計劃審查並重新設計排水基礎設施，以防止未來再次發生此類問題。

Regional authorities remain on high alert, as weather forecasts suggest that the season of unpredictable and severe storms will continue for some time.

由於天氣預報顯示，不可預測且嚴重的風暴季節將持續一段時間，地區當局仍維持高度警戒。

Severe precipitation has necessitated the declaration of local emergencies across multiple municipalities in western Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan due to rising river levels and infrastructure failure.

由於河川水位上升及基礎設施失效，曼尼托巴省西部與薩斯喀徹溫省東部的多個市鎮不得不宣布進入局部緊急狀態。

The current hydrological crisis is predicated upon a saturation deficit; Environment and Climate Change Canada reports that prior precipitation levels have exhausted the soil's absorptive capacity, resulting in immediate surface runoff. In Manitoba, the Town of Minnedosa and the City of Brandon have formally invoked states of emergency to facilitate the deployment of heavy machinery and the installation of flood barriers. Specifically, the Little Saskatchewan River is projected to experience a crest increase of approximately 60 centimeters. The federal government has responded by authorizing the deployment of the Canadian Armed Forces and Team Rubicon to the Parkland region to augment local response capabilities.

目前的水文危機源於飽和虧損；加拿大環境與氣候變遷部報告指出，先前的降水水平已使土壤的吸收能力達到極限，導致立即產生地表逕流。在曼尼托巴省，Minnedosa鎮與Brandon市已正式啟動緊急狀態，以利於部署重型機械及安裝防洪屏障。具體而言，小薩斯喀徹溫河的峰值預計將上升約60公分。聯邦政府已做出回應，授權加拿大武裝部隊與Team Rubicon部署至Parkland地區，以增強地方的應對能力。

Concurrently, eastern Saskatchewan reports systemic infrastructure vulnerabilities, with seventeen communities declaring emergencies. The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency is currently coordinating equipment distribution. Minister Michael Weger noted that the Assiniboine River has breached its banks, impacting agricultural lands, while urban centers have experienced sewage backups due to the insufficiency of existing drainage systems. Preliminary assessments indicate that approximately 70 percent of residential basements in one municipality east of Saskatoon have been compromised. Consequently, a strategic shift toward the engineering review of drainage infrastructure is anticipated to mitigate future occurrences.

與此同時，薩斯喀徹溫省東部報告了系統性的基礎設施脆弱問題，共有17個社區宣布進入緊急狀態。薩斯喀徹溫省公共安全局目前正協調設備分發。部長Michael Weger指出，阿西尼博因河已潰堤，影響了農地，而城市中心則因現有排水系統不足而出現污水回流。初步評估顯示，在薩斯卡通東部的一個市鎮中，約70%的住宅地下室遭到浸水。因此，預計將採取策略轉向，對排水基礎設施進行工程審查，以減輕未來再次發生的可能性。

Regional authorities remain in a state of heightened vigilance as meteorological forecasts suggest a prolonged season of sporadic, severe weather events.

由於氣象預報顯示，未來將面臨一段時間不定期且嚴重的天氣事件，地區當局仍保持高度警戒。
