The natural disaster hit the country's northern hilly state of Uttarakhand on Sunday morning, severely damaging two hydro power projects.

这场自然灾害周日上午袭击了该国北部丘陵地带的北阿坎德邦，严重破坏了两个水电项目。

Countries try to reduce their oil consumption and invest in alternatives such as nuclear and hydro power, or reinvest in coal.

各国试图减少石油消耗，并投资核能和水力发电等替代能源，或重新投资煤炭。

One factor contributing to this increase was extreme droughts that restricted hydro power production in some countries, which in turn increased reliance on fossil fuels.

导致这一结果的因素之一是极端干旱，一些国家因此限制了水电生产，从而增加了对化石燃料的依赖。
