The Mississippi River is America\u2019s largest river, and it\u2019s drying up; the bottom of the river is now massive sand dunes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

(Sungai Mississippi adalah sungai terbesar di Amerika, dan mengering; dasar sungai sekarang menjadi bukit pasir besar.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The water levels are dropping to record lows near Memphis, Tennessee, which are more than three meters below expected. The US mega drought is expanding to 59% of the states. The situation\u2019s getting worse mostly in the Great Plains in the Midwest, as the drought covers almost all of the Mississippi\u2019s tributaries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

(Ketinggian air turun ke rekor terendah di dekat Memphis, Tennessee, yakni lebih dari tiga meter di bawah perkiraan. Kekeringan besar AS meluas ke 59% negara bagian. Situasi semakin memburuk terutama di Great Plains di Midwest, karena kekeringan meliputi hampir semua anak sungai Mississippi.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The low levels of many rivers are devastating<\/strong> the agricultural industry and the whole transportation network in the Midwest. Low water levels carry much less cargo, and farmers have few options to send soybeans, corn and grains to international markets. They have to wait for the water to get deeper.<\/p>\n

(Dangkalnya banyak sungai menghancurkan industri pertanian dan seluruh jaringan transportasi di Midwest. Air yang dangkal membawa muatan yang jauh lebih sedikit, dan petani memiliki sedikit pilihan untuk mengirim kedelai, jagung, dan biji-bijian ke pasar internasional. Mereka harus menunggu airnya semakin dalam.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearly, people will have to learn to adapt to the changing climate and the continuing drop in water levels.<\/p>\n

(Tentunya, orang harus belajar beradaptasi dengan perubahan iklim dan penurunan permukaan air yang terus berlanjut.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Kata-kata sulit<\/span>: dune<\/strong><\/a> (bukit pasir)<\/span>, tributary<\/strong><\/a> (anak sungai)<\/span>, devastating<\/strong><\/a> (menghancurkan)<\/span>.<\/p>\n
