In recent decades, engineers have realized new ways to harness stormwater.

近几十年来，工程师们发现了利用雨水的新方法。

As engineers re-imagined the stadium for Nevada, works to divert a stormwater drain across the site began, helping to dramatically reduce the construction timeline.

随着工程师为内华达州重新构想体育场，开始将雨水引流到整个场地，这有助于大大缩短施工时间。

But the benefits aren't just limited to stormwater but extend to community health and well-being, environmental restoration and floodplain management.

但好处不仅限于雨水，还扩展到社区健康和福祉、环境恢复和洪泛区管理。

Green stormwater infrastructure, like the one shown here, mitigates the flood pulse while cleaning stormwater, using tools from the soil and plants.

绿色雨水基础设施，如这里所示的那样，使用土壤和植物中的工具在清理雨水的同时减轻洪水冲击。

Volunteer to help maintain green stormwater infrastructure or create and invest in green stormwater infrastructure at your home or your business.

自愿帮助维护绿色雨水基础设施，或在您的家中或您的企业创建和投资绿色雨水基础设施。

That means that we can lower stormwater impacts; we can reduce the heat island effect; we can lower the demand for air conditioning.

这意味着我们可以降低雨水的影响；我们可以减少热岛效应；我们可以降低对空调的需求。

The stormwater coming from your home or your business or your community impacts the rivers and the streams that it drains into.

来自您家、您的企业或您的社区的雨水会影响它流入的河流和溪流。

The former Olympic canoe and  kayak areas will be converted into a 3.7-acre lake which will collect and  store stormwater to be re-used in the park.

前奥林匹克独木舟和皮划艇区将被改造成一个 3.7 英亩的湖泊，该湖泊将收集和储存雨水，以便在公园内重新使用。

And as cities rapidly grow, they alter their landscape, resulting in more stormwater runoff, a decrease in water quality and ultimately greater impacts due to floods.

随着城市的快速发展，它们改变了景观，导致更多的雨水径流，水质下降，最终因洪水造成更大的影响。

Chongqing was also the first sponge city to be given a smart digital control system which lets authorities monitor its sewer and stormwater networks in real time.

重庆也是第一个配备智能数字控制系统的海绵城市，该系统让当局可以实时监控下水道和雨水网络。

We seek to allay this through stormwater and floodplain management, but in our dynamic and constantly evolving urban environments, the numbers suggest our traditional approaches just aren't enough.

我们试图通过雨水和洪泛区管理来缓解这种情况，但在我们充满活力和不断变化的城市环境中，数字表明我们的传统方法是不够的。

These specially engineered channels with sloped sides funnel stormwater inside, where it filters slowly into the ground beneath - often with debris and pollutants removed as part of the process.

这些经过特殊设计的带有倾斜侧面的通道将雨水输送到内部，在那里它缓慢地过滤到下面的地下——通常在这个过程中去除碎片和污染物。

By actively encouraging surface interactions with healthy microbes, we could improve passive climate control, stormwater management and even reduce CO2 emissions by lowering the energy used to heat or cool our buildings.

通过积极鼓励表面与健康微生物的相互作用， 我们可以改善被动气候控制、雨水管理，甚至通过降低用于加热或冷却建筑物的能源来减少二氧化碳排放。
