5It's known as the universal solvent, Adam's Ale, government juice, council pop, H2O, dihydrogen monoxide, hydrogen hydroxide, has a ton of different names in Arabic and yesterday (March 22) the world was called upon to pay it special attention.Iarahana mahafantatra ho fandevonana zava-drehetra, labieran'ingahy Adam [Adam's Ale], ranom-boakazom-panjakana [government juice], sôdan'ny mahantra [council pop], H2O, Ôksida tokana-na Hydrôzena, Hydrôksidana Hydrôzena, sady mitondra anaram-bosotra tsy tambo isaina any amin'ny faritra Arabo ary tamin'ny 22 Martsa 2008 lasa teo, dia nentanina izao tontolo izao ny handinika momba ny momba azy bebe kokoa.
6World Water Day 2008 marked the start of the fourth year of the UN International Decade for Action on Water that began in 2005, and to mark the occasion portals like ih20.org aggregated stories and videos while bloggers weighed in with insights and commentary from various corners of the world.Ny Andro Iraisam-Pirenena hoan'ny Rano 2008 [Journée Mondiale de l'eau | World Water Day] dia manamarika ny fanombohan'ny taona fahaefatra amin'ireo taona folo natokan'ny Firenena Mikambana hanaovana hetsika mikasika ny rano [UN International Decade for Action on Water] izay efa nanomboka tamin'ny taona 2005, ary ho fankalazana izany ny vohikala toy ny ih20.org dia nanambatra ireo atontan-dahatsoratra sy lahatsary raha ireo mpiblaogy kosa nanindry amin'ny alalan'ireo heviny sy ireo hafatra napetrany avy amin'ny lafy valon'izao tontolo izao.
7Madagascar blogger Malag@sy Miray posted a striking print advertisement (pictured above) from the Global WASH Campaign and noted thatNy namana Tomavana, mpiblaogy Malagasy no manapariaka ao amin'ny Malag@sy Miray peta-drindrina manaitra (sary io ambony io) avy amin'ny tetikasa fivoizana fahadiovana WASH [Global WASH Campaign] sady nanamarika fa :
8In Madagascar, less than 15% of the population currently have access to running water in her homes and most of them are located in urban areas [..] However, considering the current population growth in Madagascar, it would be wrong to believe that increasing access to running water alone will be enough to reach the goals of proividing drinkable water without also implementing an adequate filtering system.“Latsaky ny 15 % ankehitriny ny tahan'ny mponina izay afaka mampiasa rano amin'ny paompy any Madagasikara, ary ny ankamaroan'izy ireo dia mipetraka any amin'ny faritr'ireo tanan-dehibe […] Anefa raha dinihina ny taham-pitomboan'ny isan'ny mponina any Madagasikara, dia fahadisoana ny mihevitra fa ho tratra amin'ny lalan'ny fampitaovana ara-pamatsian-drano fotsiny ireo tanjona ireo, raha tsy misy ny fiheverana haingana izay tetikasa tokony hapetraka mba hanadiovana ny tolotra rano.”
9In Brazil, dozens of bloggers rallied around the appeal by the Faça a Sua Parte [Do Your Part, pt] blog, which sought to draw international attention to the critical lack of clean, safe drinking water worldwide, and remember that in Brazil, the world's richest country in terms of freshwater availability, forty million families have no access to drinkable water.Any Brezila indray, mpiblaogy amam-polony no indray niara-nientana nanoina ny antso nalefan'ny blaogy Faça a Sua Parte [Ataovy izay anjara tandrify anao], izay maniry ny hanintona ny mason'izao tontolo izao amin'ny loza nohon'ny tsy fahampian'ny fanadiovana ny rano fisotro manrena izao tontolo izao, sady mampahatsiahy fa any Brezila, izay firenena manankarena indrindra eran'izao tontolo izao raha ny rano am-pelatanana no heverina, dia mahatratra 40 tapitrisa ireo fianakaviana izay tsy afaka mampiasa rano madio fisotro.
10Brazilian bloggers expressed the view that the country has an important role in preserving drinking water and are doing their bit to raise awareness about the importance of managing their precious water resources.Ireo mpiblaogy Breziliana dia mihevitra fa anjaran'ny fanjakana ny mandray andraikitra amin'ny fiarovana ireo rano fisotro sy mandray anjara amin'ny fanentanana amin'ny hasarobidin'ny fitantanana maharitra ny rano.
11Bloggers like Denise Rangel [pt] reminded readers that individual attitudes make a big difference to the planet:Miblaogy tahaky Denise Rangel dia mampahatsiahy fa ny fihetsiky ny tsirairay dia misy fiantraikany lehibe amin'izao tontolo izao mihitsy :
12Have you ever imagined how much water is wasted in the simple act of lathering hands with an open tap?“Mba efa noheverinao ve izay fandaniam-poana ny rano amin'ny fanosorana savony ny tanana amin'ny paompy mivoha midanadana ?
13According to the National Water Agency (ANA), seven liters [of water] are spent!Araky ny fandihinan'ny Biraom-Pirenena mikasika ny Rano [ANA, Agência Nacional de Águas], dia rano fito litatra no very amin'izany !
14It is no longer acceptable that there are still people who refuse to change small habits that, in addition to bringing economy to their own pockets, bring a great benefit to the environment and the lives of others.Tsy azo ekena intsony ankehitriny raha mbola misy ireo olona izay mandà ny hanova ny fomba fanaony mahazatra toy izany, ankoatr'izay fitsitsiana ataony amin'ny fihenan'ny vola haloany dia hanampy amin'ny fanatsarana ny fiainan'ny manodidina azy sy ny tontolo iainana izy.
15The fight against waste must be a habit encouraged by the entire family.Ny ady amin'ny fandaniam-poana dia tokony ho fahazarana hoan'ny fianakaviana iray manontolo.
16Just close the tap to lather hands, to brush your teeth or take faster showers.Hidio ny paompy rehefa hanosotra savony ny tananao ianao, na hiborosy nify, na rehefa mandro malaky.”
17Sérgio Coutinho [pt], on the other hand, expressed the view that it is necessary to stay ahead from the myth that if everyone makes a little effort the planet will be saved:Sérgio Coutinho kosa dia manamarika fa, ilaina ny manalavitra ny anganongano izay manambara fa raha samy manao ezaka kely ny tsirairay dia ho avotra ny boriborintany :
18It would be interesting that the industrial waste of water, which sees hundreds of liters thrown in the trash for the production of a single commodity (20 liters per chicken, for example) would also be affected with the “everyone does their bit” rule.“Hahaliana raha ny fandaniam-poan'ireo orinasa, izay mitazana ny fanariana ireo rano amam-jatony litatra mba hamokarana zavatra tokanahoan'ny mpanjifa [rano 20 litatra hoan'ny akoho iray ohatra] koa dia ampiharana ity lalana “samy manao ezaka kely ny tsirairay” ity.” Hetsika fanajana ny Andro Iraisam-Pirenena hoan'ny Rano [World Water Day] any Varanasi, India sary nindramina tamin'i melarosa
19In the Middle East, Tel Aviv-based Yael K was woken up (by her cats) in the middle of the night, only to find that her thoughts turned almost immediately to water:Any amin'ny faritra Arabo indray, ny mpiblaogy Yael K izay monina any Tel Aviv izay nofohazin'ny sakany tamin'ny torimasony dia nahita fa nirona avy hatrany any amin'ny rano ny eritreriny :
20What?“Ahoana tsara hoe ?
21Doesn't everyone else think about this issue in the wee hours of the morning?Moa ve tsy tokony hisaintsaina izany fanontaniana izany amin'ny andro vao mangiran-dratsy ny tsirairay ?
22For those of you who don't know, our region is in the midst of a quite severe drought that has been going on for the past 4 years.
23We've had way less rainfall and snowfall than we generally get and far far less than we need in this arid desert region.Ho an'ireo izay tsy mbola mahafantatra dia miaina haintany henjana tokoa izay efa maharitra efatra taona, ny faritra misy anay.
24For those who don't know, right now the mid-west in the U.S. is getting far more rainfall and snowfall than they usually get and far far more than they need -in fact, they are being seriously flooded with lots of loss of life and damage to property and so forth occurring.Kely kokoa noho ny mahazatra ny tahan'orana sy oram-panala ary tena bitika mihitsy raha ampitahaina amin'izay tokony ilaina aty amin'ny faritra hay aty. Ho an'ireo tsy mahalala, ny ivon'i Zamerika dia misedra ankehitriny tahan'orana sy oram-panala mihoatra noho izay mahazatra ary betsaka lavitra noho izay ilain'ny mponina any, ka dia miteraka tondra-drano izay amoizana aina sy fananana maro.
25The U.K. also got hit with severe flooding this year.Ny fanjakana mitambatra [United Kingdom | Royaume-Uni] kokoa dia misedra tondra-drano toy izany amin'ity taona ity.”
26So my 4 a.m. thoughts ran something like this: Such a shame that those poor people are being flooded and us poor people are water-deprived.Toy izao izany no nosaintsainiko tamin'ny 4 ora maraina : tsy rariny hoe ry zareo misedra tondra-drano ary izahy kosa mijalin'ny hain-tany.
27They've gotten more water in the last 2 weeks than we've gotten in a full year.Mihoatry ny rano izay azonay isan-taona ny rano azondry zareo tao anatin'ny tapa-bolana monja.
28All that lovely water is running amok in people's houses and then will eventually drain out to the sea and become salty and even of less use than when it is destroying property and washing out roads.Ireny rano mahate-ho-tia ireny dia mikoriana isan-trano dia avy eo mivarina any an-dranomasina ka manjary masirasira, ary indraindray aza dia ampiasaina handiovana lalana na koa miteraka fanimbana fananana sy arabe.
29Wouldn't it be nice if there were some way to move all that water from places it isn't needed to places that it is?Tsy mba tsara ve raha nisy fomba namindrana ireny rano ireny avy amin'ny toerana izay tsy ilana azy ho aty amin'ny faritra miandrandra azy fatratra ?
30If our global warming trends and climate changes continue, at some point water will be worth more than oil and will go for a pretty penny.Raha mitohy izao fisondrotry ny mari-pana eran-tany sy ny fivoatry ny toetr'andro amin'ny ankapobeany, ho avy ny andro iray izay hiakaran'ny sandan'ny rano ho avo nohon'ny solika ary dia hovidiana lafo tokoa.
31Then I fell back asleep.Dia niverina raiki-tory indray aho. ”
32Carl, in Jerusalem, recalled a post he wrote nearly a year ago considering the implications for Israel's water supply of any land-sharing arrangement with Palestine or Syria, and expressed concerns about the near future:Carl, izay monina any Jerosalema kosa dia mampahatsiahy ny lahatsoratra iray nosoratany iray taona mialoha izay anambarany ny fanahiany ny ho amin'ny ho avy mikasika ny fifanarahana izay kasain'ny Israely hapetraka momba ny fifampizarana rano sy tany amin'ny Palestina sy Syria :
33With warm temperatures hitting this weekend (temperatures are expected to hit 29 degrees Celsius today and 31 tomorrow), the winter rains are likely finished for the season.“Miaraka amin'ireo mari-pana mivaivay andrasana amin'ny faran'ity herinandro ity (29 ° C androany ary heverina ho 31° C rahampitso), Angamba tapitra hatreo ireo oram-dririnina amin'ity taona ity.
34Unfortunately, we did not have enough rain this winter, and if the water levels run too low, the aquifers that supply our water may be irreversibly polluted.Indrisy anefa fa tsy ampy ireo orana nilatsaka amin'ity taon-dririnina ity, ary raha iva loatra ny haavon'ny rano [amin'ny vovo] mety ho voaloto maharitra mbamin'ny zohy lalovan'izany rano fisotro izany.
35The existing desalination facilities are insufficient.Tsy ampy mihitsy ireo fitaovana famadihana ny ranomasina ho ranomamy.
36We have a major problem that could potentially hit full force as soon as this summer.Misy loza goavana manambana izay mety hiantefa tsy ela akory fa amin'ity fahavaratra ity [summer | été].”
37The WITNESS Hub, meanwhile, presented the the other side of the argument, posting the first “chapter” of “Drying Up Palestine“, a 28-minute documentary by Rima Essa and Peter Snowdon which describes itself as “a film about what it's like to try and live with less than one raindrop out of every ten”.Ny WITNESS Hub [Ivon'ireo Vavolombelona], kosa dia manapariaka lahatsary maharitra 28 min izay tapany voalohany amin'ny “Fanaovana an'i Palestina ho hay” [Drying Up Palestine, notanterahin'i Rima Essa sy Peter Snowdon izay manazava ity lahatsary ity ho toy ny “sarimihetsika mampiseho izay mety ho toetoetry ny fiainana amin'ny rano izay mihena latsaky ny folo isan-jato.”
