阿努潘·米什拉智慧洋溢的為我們娓娓道來幾個世紀前的工程壯舉，當時的印度黃金沙漠上的工程師們建造了一些水利工程來存儲雨水。這些工程至今仍然廣泛應用，甚至比當代的很多水利工程還要先進。

For emotions, we should not move quickly to the desert.

從個人感情上來講，我建議我們先別立即轉到沙漠的討論中。
00:21
So, first, a small housekeeping announcement:
1
6000
6000
先來一點作為本場演講人的聲明：
00:27
please switch off your
2
12000
2000
麻煩在座各位
00:29
proper English check programs
3
14000
3000
關掉你們大腦中
00:32
installed in your brain.
4
17000
3000
固有的標準英語校對程序，把注意力從我的英語表達上轉移走。
00:35
(Applause)
5
20000
4000
（掌聲）
00:39
So, welcome to the Golden Desert, Indian desert.
6
24000
5000
好的，接下來就歡迎大家來到這片印度的黃金沙漠。
00:44
It receives the least rainfall in the country,
7
29000
3000
這片沙漠是印度每年降雨量
00:47
lowest rainfall.
8
32000
2000
最少的地區。
00:49
If you are well-versed with inches, nine inches,
9
34000
4000
如果你熟悉用英吋來衡量的話，降雨量大概只有9英吋，
00:53
centimeters, 16 [centimeters].
10
38000
2000
用公分來衡量的話，大約不到23公分。
00:55
The groundwater is 300 feet deep, 100 meters.
11
40000
5000
地下水有30英呎深，大約100米。
01:00
And in most parts it is saline, not fit for drinking.
12
45000
5000
而大多數地下水是鹽水，無法飲用的。
01:05
So, you can't install hand pumps or dig wells,
13
50000
3000
這一地區的大多數村莊沒有通電，
01:08
though there is no electricity in most of the villages.
14
53000
3000
因此，也無法安裝水泵或者挖井。
01:11
But suppose you use the green technology, solar pumps --
15
56000
5000
如果你想到可以用類似太陽能這樣的綠色能源技術來實現，
01:16
they are of no use in this area.
16
61000
3000
但是在這個區域卻行不通。
01:19
So, welcome to the Golden Desert.
17
64000
3000
其實在這片金色沙漠中，
01:22
Clouds seldom visit this area.
18
67000
3000
很少會出現陰雲密佈的天氣。
01:25
But we find 40 different names of clouds in this dialect used here.
19
70000
9000
但是這裡的方言有40種不同雲的叫法。
01:34
There are a number of techniques to harvest rain.
20
79000
3000
沒錯，的確有些技術可以收集雨水。
01:37
This is a new work, it's a new program.
21
82000
3000
這是一種新的方法，或者説新項目。
01:40
But for the desert society
22
85000
2000
但是對於沙漠而言，
01:42
this is no program; this is their life.
23
87000
4000
這可不是什麼實驗項目，這就是沙漠上人的生活。
01:46
And they harvest rain in many ways.
24
91000
4000
他們有很多收集雨水的辦法。
01:50
So, this is the first device they use
25
95000
3000
這個就是他們一開始用來
01:53
in harvesting rain.
26
98000
2000
收穫雨水的裝置。
01:55
It's called kunds; somewhere it is called [unclear].
27
100000
3000
這個裝置叫做昆德（kunds），有些地方也叫xxx（聽不清楚）。
01:58
And you can notice they have created
28
103000
4000
你會發現他們造了
02:02
a kind of false catchment.
29
107000
3000
人工蓄水池。
02:05
The desert is there, sand dunes, some small field.
30
110000
3000
沙漠和沙坵依然存在，只有一小片田地。
02:08
And this is all big raised platform.
31
113000
4000
這一些片田地可是需要花很大力氣維護的
02:12
You can notice the small holes
32
117000
3000
可以看到這裏有一些小洞，
02:15
the water will fall on this catchment,
33
120000
2000
水流到這些蓄水池上，
02:17
and there is a slope.
34
122000
2000
然後順著斜坡流下去。
02:19
Sometimes our engineers and architects
35
124000
4000
現代的一些工程師和建築師
02:23
do not care about slopes in bathrooms,
36
128000
3000
都不太在意浴室裡的斜坡了，
02:26
but here they will care properly.
37
131000
2000
可是以前當地人卻正確地利用了斜坡。
02:28
And the water will go where it should go.
38
133000
3000
這樣水就會順勢流去。
02:31
And then it is 40 feet deep.
39
136000
4000
而且通常都可以存儲大約40呎深。
02:35
The waterproofing is done perfectly,
40
140000
4000
那裏的防止漏水工作做的很好，
02:39
better than our city contractors,
41
144000
3000
真的好過我們現在城市里的那些承包商們，
02:42
because not a single drop should go waste in this.
42
147000
5000
因為對他們來説，任何一滴水都不能浪費。
02:47
They collect 100 thousand liters in one season.
43
152000
5000
他們當時每個季節能存十萬升水。
02:52
And this is pure drinking water.
44
157000
4000
而且這些都是可以飲用的純淨水。
02:56
Below the surface there is hard saline water.
45
161000
4000
地表以下卻是含鹽的硬水。
03:00
But now you can have this for year round.
46
165000
4000
但是有了這些儲水裝置後，一年內都能有飲用水。
03:04
It's two houses.
47
169000
2000
這有兩幢房子。
03:06
We often use a term called bylaws.
48
171000
3000
我們經常用一個詞，叫做“法律規定”。
03:09
Because we are used to get written things.
49
174000
4000
我們習慣把這些規定都寫下來，
03:13
But here it is unwritten by law.
50
178000
3000
但是也有法律種沒有規定的。
03:16
And people made their house,
51
181000
3000
人們建造自己的房子
03:19
and the water storage tanks.
52
184000
4000
和蓄水池。
03:23
These raised up platforms just like this stage.
53
188000
6000
這些凸起的臺子就像這個平臺一樣。
03:29
In fact they go 15 feet deep,
54
194000
2000
事實上，這些臺子有15呎深，
03:31
and collect rain water from roof,
55
196000
3000
從屋頂收集雨水，
03:34
there is a small pipe, and from their courtyard.
56
199000
3000
而且這裏有一根從花園里傳出來的小管子。
03:37
It can also harvest something like 25,000 in a good monsoon.
57
202000
6000
只要碰到雨量丰富的季節，也可以收穫大約兩萬五千升水。
03:43
Another big one,
58
208000
2000
另一個大的蓄水池，
03:45
this is of course out of the hardcore desert area.
59
210000
6000
當然這個也是從沙漠中來的，
03:51
This is near Jaipur. This is called the Jaigarh Fort.
60
216000
4000
离齋普爾很近，這地方叫做齋普爾要塞。
03:55
And it can collect six million gallons of rainwater in one season.
61
220000
6000
它一個雨季就可以收集六百萬加侖的雨水。
04:01
The age is 400 years.
62
226000
3000
它已經有400多年的歷史了。
04:04
So, since 400 years it has been giving you
63
229000
4000
這麼看來，從四百年前它就開始每季
04:08
almost six million gallons of water per season.
64
233000
5000
提供六百萬加侖的水給我們。
04:13
You can calculate the price of that water.
65
238000
3000
你可以算算這說的價格不菲啊。
04:16
It draws water from 15 kilometers of canals.
66
241000
5000
它從15公裡以外的運河引水而來。
04:21
You can see a modern road, hardly 50 years old.
67
246000
5000
看看現在那些公路，還不到50年，
04:26
It can break sometimes.
68
251000
3000
就經常損壞了。
04:29
But this 400 year old canal, which draws water,
69
254000
3000
但這條400年的引水老運河
04:32
it is maintained for so many generations.
70
257000
3000
經歷這麼多年代還依然完好無損。
04:35
Of course if you want to go inside, the two doors are locked.
71
260000
4000
當然你會想進進去看看，這兩扇門卻緊關着。
04:39
But they can be opened for TED people.
72
264000
3000
但是他們可能會為TED的觀眾爾開的。
04:42
(Laughter)
73
267000
1000
(笑聲)
04:43
And we request them.
74
268000
2000
當然，這是我們申請下來的。
04:45
You can see person coming up with
75
270000
3000
在圖上可以看到一個人提著
04:48
two canisters of water.
76
273000
2000
兩桶水上來了。
04:50
And the water level -- these are not empty canisters --
77
275000
3000
可不是兩個空桶啊，
04:53
water level is right up to this.
78
278000
3000
正好慢慢兩桶水。
04:56
It can envy many municipalities,
79
281000
3000
很多市民都會羨慕這水的
04:59
the color, the taste, the purity of this water.
80
284000
5000
顔色，味道和它的純凈。
05:04
And this is what they call Zero B type of water,
81
289000
4000
這就是他們稱之為零B型的水，
05:08
because it comes from the clouds,
82
293000
2000
因為它來自雲端，
05:10
pure distilled water.
83
295000
3000
是經過萃取的純凈水。
05:13
We stop for a quick commercial break,
84
298000
3000
我們停下來稍作廣告休息，
05:16
and then we come back to the traditional systems.
85
301000
3000
然後就再回到了那些傳統的系統中去。
05:19
The government thought that this is a very
86
304000
3000
政府認為這裏是個發展非常
05:22
backward area and we should bring
87
307000
2000
緩慢的地區，我們可以引進
05:24
a multi-million dollar project
88
309000
3000
一項幾百萬美金的項目建造
05:27
to bring water from the Himalayas.
89
312000
3000
從喜馬拉雅山脈引水的工程。
05:30
That's why I said that this is a commercial break.
90
315000
3000
這就是為什麼我說這只是個廣告。
05:33
(Laughter)
91
318000
1000
（笑聲）
05:34
But we will come back, once again,
92
319000
2000
但是我們還會再回來探討的，
05:36
to the traditional thing.
93
321000
2000
就為了那些傳統的東西。
05:38
So, water from 300, 400 kilometers away,
94
323000
4000
那麽，來自三十萬零四百公裡以外的水
05:42
soon it become like this.
95
327000
2000
很快將變成這樣。
05:44
In many portions, water hyacinth
96
329000
2000
在很大程度上，鳳眼蘭
05:46
covered these big canals like anything.
97
331000
5000
完全的蔓延着這些巨大的引水渠生長。
05:51
Of course there are some areas where water is reaching,
98
336000
2000
當然了，這些是有引來的水可以覆蓋到的地區，
05:53
I'm not saying that it is not reaching at all.
99
338000
3000
我也不是説這樣引水來完全沒有用。
05:56
But the tail end, the Jaisalmer area,
100
341000
4000
但是在引水道的末端，也就是斋沙默尔地區，
06:00
you will notice in Bikaner things like this:
101
345000
3000
你會在比卡內爾發現這樣的事情：
06:03
where the water hyacinth couldn't grow,
102
348000
2000
鳳眼蘭根本無法生長，
06:05
the sand is flowing in these canals.
103
350000
5000
沙子卻流進了運河道。
06:10
The bonus is that you can find wildlife around it.
104
355000
4000
值得慶幸的是，這附近卻出現了野生動物。
06:14
(Laughter)
105
359000
3000
（笑聲）
06:17
We had full-page advertisements,
106
362000
3000
大約30年，或者25年前，當這些運河剛剛建成的時候，
06:20
some 30 years, 25 years ago when this canal came.
107
365000
4000
我們用了整夜的廣告來宣傳。
06:24
They said that throw away your traditional systems,
108
369000
4000
勸告人們放棄這些傳統的蓄水係統，
06:28
these new cement tanks will supply you piped water.
109
373000
4000
這些水泥蓄水池可以提供管道運來的水。
06:32
It's a dream. And it became a dream also.
110
377000
4000
這的確是個夢，但是夢想成真了。
06:36
Because soon the water was not able to reach these areas.
111
381000
7000
因為很快這些水將無法到達這些區域。
06:43
And people started renovating their own structures.
112
388000
5000
人們要開始革新他們以前來的蓄水結構了。
06:48
These are all traditional water structures,
113
393000
3000
這些就是傳統的蓄水結構，
06:51
which we won't be able to explain in such a short time.
114
396000
4000
我們無法在短時間內詳細解釋。
06:55
But you can see that no woman is standing on those.
115
400000
4000
但是你可以看到一個女人正站在蓄水池上面。
06:59
(Laughter)
116
404000
1000
（笑聲）
07:00
And they are plaiting hair.
117
405000
2000
她們在梳辮子呢。
07:02
(Applause)
118
407000
4000
（掌聲）
07:06
Jaisalmer. This is heart of desert.
119
411000
3000
斋沙默尔是這片沙漠的核心地帶。
07:09
This town was established 800 years ago.
120
414000
4000
這座城鎮建於800年前。
07:13
I'm not sure by that time
121
418000
3000
我不知道那時候，
07:16
Bombay was there, or Delhi was there,
122
421000
2000
孟買， 德立，
07:18
or Chennai was there, or Bangalore was there.
123
423000
3000
金奈，甚至班加羅爾是否已經誕生。
07:21
So, this was the terminal point for silk route.
124
426000
3000
而且，這裡是絲綢之路的終點。
07:24
Well connected, 800 years ago, through Europe.
125
429000
5000
這裏800年前就聯通了歐洲。
07:29
None of us were able to go to Europe,
126
434000
4000
當時的人們都無法到達歐洲。
07:33
but Jaisalmer was well connected to it.
127
438000
3000
但是斋沙默尔已經很好的和歐洲聯通了。
07:36
And this is the 16 centimeter area.
128
441000
4000
這個地區的降雨量是16公分。
07:40
Such a limited rainfall,
129
445000
3000
如此有限的降雨量
07:43
and highest colorful life flourished in these areas.
130
448000
6000
卻孕育這片地區無比豐富多彩的生活。
07:49
You won't find water in this slide.
131
454000
3000
雖然你在這個幻燈片中看不到水，
07:52
But it is invisible.
132
457000
2000
但是它卻隱含其中。
07:54
Somewhere a stream or a rivulet
133
459000
4000
某些地方的小河或者小溪
07:58
is running through here.
134
463000
3000
穿過這片地區。
08:01
Or, if you want to paint, you can paint it blue throughout
135
466000
4000
如果你想把這一地區畫下來，你可以整個畫成藍色，
08:05
because every roof which you see in this picture
136
470000
4000
因為你在這照片中看得到的房頂
08:09
collects rainwater drops
137
474000
2000
都可以收集雨水滴
08:11
and deposit in the rooms.
138
476000
5000
然後在屋裡儲存。
08:16
But apart from this system,
139
481000
3000
除了這些儲水系統外，
08:19
they designed 52 beautiful water bodies around this town.
140
484000
6000
他們還在這個城鎮周圍建了52處美麗的儲水建築。
08:25
And what we call private public partnership
141
490000
4000
我們把他們叫做公私合營
08:29
you can add estate also.
142
494000
3000
你自己也可以加入。
08:32
So, estate, public and private entrepreneurs
143
497000
4000
因此，房產開發商，公共事業和私人企業
08:36
work together to build this beautiful water body.
144
501000
4000
合作建造了這片美麗的儲水体。
08:40
And it's a kind of water body for all seasons.
145
505000
5000
而且這片儲水區可以一年四季儲水。
08:45
You will admire it. Just behold the beauty throughout the year.
146
510000
4000
你可以好好欣賞它，仔細觀察它的四季之美。
08:49
Whether water level goes up or down,
147
514000
2000
不管水面上升還是下降，
08:51
the beauty is there throughout.
148
516000
2000
它都一致美麗如常。
08:53
Another water body, dried up, of course,
149
518000
3000
這是另一個儲水池，沒錯，已經
08:56
during the summer period,
150
521000
2000
在夏季的時候乾涸了，
08:58
but you can see how the traditional society
151
523000
5000
但是你依然可以看到傳統的社會
09:03
combines engineering with aesthetics, with the heart.
152
528000
5000
用心的將工程學和美學結合起來了。
09:08
These statues, marvelous statues,
153
533000
3000
這些彫塑，了不起的彫塑，
09:11
gives you an idea of water table.
154
536000
3000
向你標識出地下水位的位置。
09:14
When this rain comes and the water starts filling this tank,
155
539000
5000
當有雨降落，水開始填入這些蓄水池的時候，
09:19
it will submerge these beautiful statues
156
544000
3000
將淹沒這些美麗的彫塑
09:22
in what we call in English today "mass communication."
157
547000
3000
在當代英語中，我們把這些彫塑叫做“大眾傳媒工具”。
09:25
This was for mass communication.
158
550000
3000
這就是做為大眾傳媒工具而用的。
09:28
Everybody in the town will know that this elephant has drowned,
159
553000
4000
城鎮中的每個人都知道這只大像被淹沒了，
09:32
so water will be there for seven months or nine months,
160
557000
3000
因此存儲的水可以用七到九個月，
09:35
or 12 months.
161
560000
2000
甚至十二個月。
09:37
And then they will come and worship this pond,
162
562000
3000
接著他們將會前來膜拜這個池塘，
09:40
pay respect, their gratitude.
163
565000
3000
以示尊敬和感激。
09:43
Another small water body, called the [unclear].
164
568000
3000
另一個小的蓄水池，叫做“傑斯體”（聽音）。
09:46
It is difficult to translate in English,
165
571000
2000
這個名字很難被翻譯成英語，
09:48
especially in my English.
166
573000
2000
特別是以我的英語水平。
09:50
But the nearest would be "glory," a reputation.
167
575000
3000
但是最近的一個意思就是“繁榮”，這是一種殊榮啊。
09:53
The reputation in desert of this small water body is
168
578000
4000
它在這片沙漠中享有這種殊榮就是因為
09:57
that it never dries up.
169
582000
3000
它從來沒有乾涸過。
10:00
In severe drought periods
170
585000
3000
即使在非常嚴重的旱災期
10:03
nobody has seen this water body
171
588000
2000
也沒人看到過這片蓄水池
10:05
getting dried up.
172
590000
2000
乾涸過。
10:07
And perhaps they knew the future also.
173
592000
7000
或許它也通曉未來。
10:14
It was designed some 150 years ago.
174
599000
3000
這是大約150年前設計的。
10:17
But perhaps they knew that on sixth, November, 2009,
175
602000
4000
但是或許當時的設計者知道在2009年11月6日，
10:21
there will be a TED green and blue session,
176
606000
4000
這裡將舉辦一場TED藍綠會議，
10:25
so they painted it like this.
177
610000
2000
因此他們就把它畫成了這樣。
10:27
(Laughter)
178
612000
1000
（笑聲）
10:28
(Applause)
179
613000
5000
（掌聲）
10:33
Dry water body. Children are standing on
180
618000
3000
這是一個乾涸的蓄水池，孩子們站在這個
10:36
a very difficult device to explain.
181
621000
3000
很難解釋清楚的裝置上面。
10:39
This is called kund. We have, in English, surface water and ground water.
182
624000
5000
這叫做“昆德（kund）”。在英語中，我們有地表水和地下水的說法。
10:44
But this is not ground water.
183
629000
2000
但是這並不是地下水。
10:46
You can draw ground water from any well.
184
631000
2000
從任何井裡都可以獲取地下水。
10:48
But this is no ordinary well.
185
633000
3000
但這不是個普通的井。
10:51
It squeeze the moisture
186
636000
4000
它是搾取藏在
10:55
hidden in the sand.
187
640000
2000
沙子里的水份的。
10:57
And they have dubbed this water as the third one called [unclear].
188
642000
4000
他們授予這片水域是第三個“黑加泥”（聽音譯）。
11:01
And there is a gypsum belt running below it.
189
646000
5000
在這個井下面有一條石膏帶。
11:06
And it was deposited by the great mother Earth,
190
651000
4000
而且這里的水直接經過了地球母親的沉澱，
11:10
some three million years ago.
191
655000
3000
這都是大約三百年前的水了。
11:13
And where we have this gypsum strip
192
658000
3000
哪裡有這種石膏帶，
11:16
they can harvest this water.
193
661000
2000
他們就能在哪里收穫這些水。
11:18
This is the same dry water body.
194
663000
2000
這也是一個乾涸的儲水池。
11:20
Now, you don't find any kund;
195
665000
3000
如今，已經找不到一個昆德（kund）了，
11:23
they are all submerged.
196
668000
2000
他們已經被水淹沒了。
11:25
But when the water goes down they will be able
197
670000
3000
但是一旦水流入蓄水池，他們就能
11:28
to draw water from those structures throughout the year.
198
673000
3000
整年的從蓄水池中吸取水資源。
11:31
This year they have received only six centimeters.
199
676000
4000
今年，他們只得到了6公分的降水。
11:35
Six centimeter of rainfall,
200
680000
3000
即使只有六公分的降水量，
11:38
and they can telephone you
201
683000
2000
他們也會給你打電話
11:40
that if you find any water problem in your city,
202
685000
3000
詢問你所在的城市是否有任何水利用問題。
11:43
Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore, Mysore,
203
688000
2000
德裡，孟買，班加羅爾，邁索爾，
11:45
please come to our area of six centimeters, we can give you water.
204
690000
4000
如果你那裡的供水有問題，請給我們這個只有六公分降雨量的地方打電話，我們可以給你水用。
11:49
(Laughter)
205
694000
1000
（笑聲）
11:50
How they maintain them?
206
695000
2000
他們是如何堅持下去的呢？
11:52
There are three things: concept, planning,
207
697000
3000
有三個方面：觀念，計划，
11:55
making the actual thing, and also maintaining them.
208
700000
3000
製造實體 與維護實體。
11:58
It is a structure for maintain,
209
703000
2000
他們就這樣保持了
12:00
for centuries, by generations, without any department,
210
705000
5000
幾個世紀，代代相傳，沒有任何政府部門
12:05
without any funding,
211
710000
2000
和資金的支持。
12:07
So the secret is "[unclear]," respect.
212
712000
5000
因此秘訣就在於“佛塌”（印度語音譯），也就是尊重。
12:12
Your own thing, not personal property,
213
717000
4000
你自己的財產，不是私人財產
12:16
my property, every time.
214
721000
3000
就是我的財產，所以隨時我都會尊重它。
12:19
So, these stone pillars
215
724000
2000
這些石柱
12:21
will remind you that you are entering into a water body area.
216
726000
4000
會提示你正在進入一片儲水區。
12:25
Don't spit, don't do anything wrong,
217
730000
2000
別隨地吐痰，別做任何不該做的事情，
12:27
so that the clean water can be collected.
218
732000
3000
這樣才能保持收集到乾淨的水。
12:30
Another pillar, stone pillar on your right side.
219
735000
3000
這是另一個石柱，就在你的右手邊。
12:33
If you climb these three, six steps
220
738000
3000
當你爬上三層或者六層台階，
12:36
you will find something very nice.
221
741000
3000
你會發現一些很美妙的事情。
12:39
This was done in 11th century.
222
744000
3000
這些圖形是11世界建造的。
12:42
And you have to go further down.
223
747000
3000
你還要再走下去一些。
12:45
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words,
224
750000
3000
有人說這樣一幅圖千言萬語也難以描述，
12:48
so we can say a thousand words right now,
225
753000
3000
那麽我們現在就一千字
12:51
an another thousand words.
226
756000
2000
一千字的來形容它。
12:53
If the water table goes down,
227
758000
2000
如果地下水位降低，
12:55
you will find new stairs.
228
760000
2000
你就會看到新的台階浮出水面。
12:57
If it comes up, some of them will be submerged.
229
762000
4000
如果地下水位上漲，一些檯階就會被淹沒。
13:01
So, throughout the year
230
766000
2000
因此，整整一年
13:03
this beautiful system will give you some pleasure.
231
768000
5000
這種美麗的建筑係統都可以給你帶來歡樂。
13:08
Three sides, such steps, on the fourth side
232
773000
2000
這個水池的三面都是有這樣的檯階組成，在第四面
13:10
there is a four-story building
233
775000
2000
有一個四層的結構，
13:12
where you can organize such TED conferences anytime.
234
777000
5000
你可以隨時在哪裡舉辦TED會議。
13:17
(Applause)
235
782000
6000
（掌聲）
13:23
Excuse me, who built these structures?
236
788000
4000
不好意思問一下啊，是誰建造了這些結構呢？
13:27
They are in front of you.
237
792000
2000
他們就在你面前。
13:29
The best civil engineers we had, the best planners,
238
794000
4000
我們最優秀的民間工程師，最好的策劃人，
13:33
the best architects.
239
798000
2000
也是最好的建築師。
13:35
We can say that because of them,
240
800000
2000
我可以說正是因為他們，
13:37
because of their forefathers,
241
802000
2000
因為他們的祖先們，
13:39
India could get the first engineering college
242
804000
3000
印度才會在1847年就成立了
13:42
in 1847.
243
807000
3000
第一所工程大學。
13:45
There were no English medium schools at that time,
244
810000
3000
那時候還沒有英語授課的中學，
13:48
even no Hindi schools, [unclear] schools.
245
813000
3000
也沒有北印度語授課學校。
13:51
But such people, compelled to the East India Company,
246
816000
3000
但是這些人唾棄東印度公司
13:54
which came here for business, a very dirty kind of business ...
247
819000
4000
盡做的是一些骯髒的生意。
13:58
(Laughter)
248
823000
2000
（笑聲）
14:00
but not to create the engineering colleges.
249
825000
3000
他們才不是來建立工程學校的，
14:03
But because of them, first engineering college was created
250
828000
4000
但是因為他們才能在一個連城鎮都算不上的小村庄
14:07
in a small village, not in the town.
251
832000
3000
建立了第一所工程大學。
14:10
The last point, we all know in our primary schools that
252
835000
5000
最后一點，我們小學就知道了
14:15
that camel is a ship of desert.
253
840000
3000
駱駝是沙漠之船。
14:18
So, you can find through your Jeep,
254
843000
3000
因此，通過吉普車，
14:21
a camel, and a cart.
255
846000
3000
你能看到一直駱駝和一輛推車。
14:24
This tire comes from the airplane.
256
849000
4000
這個輪胎是從飛機上卸下來的。
14:28
So, look at the beauty from the desert society
257
853000
3000
所以，來看看沙漠社會之美吧。
14:31
who can harvest rainwater,
258
856000
2000
這裏可以收集雨水，
14:33
and also create something
259
858000
3000
可以創造很多東西，
14:36
through a tire from a jet plane,
260
861000
4000
可以把一個噴氣式飛機的輪胎
14:40
and used in a camel cart.
261
865000
2000
拿來做駱駝拉車。
14:42
Last picture, it's a tattoo,
262
867000
3000
最后一張照片，這是一個紋身，
14:45
2,000-years-old tattoo.
263
870000
2000
一個2000年前的紋身。
14:47
They were using it on their body.
264
872000
3000
他們把紋身紋在身上。
14:50
Tattoo was, at one time,
265
875000
2000
曾經，紋身
14:52
a kind of a blacklisted
266
877000
2000
被列在黑名單中，
14:54
or con thing, but now it is in thing.
267
879000
3000
或者是一種欺騙的表現，而如今則是流行文化。
14:57
(Laughter)
268
882000
2000
（笑聲）
14:59
(Applause)
269
884000
2000
（掌聲）
15:01
You can copy this tattoo. I have some posters of this.
270
886000
3000
你們大家可以來複制這個紋身，我這兒有一些這樣的海報。
15:04
(Laughter)
271
889000
3000
（笑聲）
15:07
The center of life is water.
272
892000
5000
這個紋身顯示了，生命的中心是水。
15:12
These are the beautiful waves.
273
897000
2000
這些是美麗的波紋。
15:14
These are the beautiful stairs
274
899000
3000
這些是我們在剛才的幻燈片中看到的
15:17
which we just saw in one of the slides.
275
902000
3000
好看的台階。
15:20
These are the trees.
276
905000
3000
這些是樹木。
15:23
And these are the flowers which
277
908000
2000
這些是花朵，給我們的生活
15:25
add fragrance to our lives.
278
910000
4000
帶來了芳香。
15:29
So, this is the message of desert.
279
914000
3000
這就是沙漠的寓意。
15:32
Thank you very much.
280
917000
2000
非常感謝大家。
15:34
(Applause)
281
919000
26000
（鼓掌）
16:00
Chris Anderson: So, first of all, I wish I had your eloquence, truly, in any language.
282
945000
4000
克裡斯·安德森：首先，我真希望我能有您這樣的口才，真的，不管是什麼語言。
16:04
(Applause)
283
949000
7000
（掌聲）
16:11
These artifacts and designs are inspiring.
284
956000
6000
這些人造的裝置和設計讓我們深受靈感的啓發。
16:17
Do you believe that they can be used elsewhere,
285
962000
3000
你覺得這些裝置是否可以用在其他地方，
16:20
that the world can learn from this?
286
965000
2000
世界其他國家可以由此借鑒呢？
16:22
Or is this just right for this place?
287
967000
2000
還是説這種儲水裝置只能在這個地方用呢？
16:24
Anupam Mishra: No, the basic idea is to
288
969000
3000
阿努潘·米什拉：不是的，這個裝置最基本的想法就是
16:27
utilize water that falls on our area.
289
972000
3000
利用落到我們地區的降水。
16:30
So, the ponds, the open bodies, are everywhere,
290
975000
4000
因此，池塘，開放的儲水池到處都有，
16:34
right from Sri Lanka to Kashmir, and in other parts also.
291
979000
5000
不僅僅是從斯里蘭卡到克什米爾，其他地方也有。
16:39
And these [unclear], which stored water,
292
984000
3000
這些蓄水裝置存儲降水，
16:42
there are two type of things.
293
987000
2000
一般有兩種方式。
16:44
One recharge, and one stores.
294
989000
2000
一種是可再充水的，一種是簡單的存儲。
16:46
So, it depends on the terrain.
295
991000
3000
這取決于當地的地形。
16:49
But kund, which uses the gypsum belt,
296
994000
3000
但是昆德（kund），是要用到石膏帶的，
16:52
for that you have to go back to your calendar,
297
997000
4000
這樣的話，你就需要讓時間倒流，
16:56
three million years ago.
298
1001000
2000
回到三百万年前去。
16:58
If it is there it can be done right now.
299
1003000
2000
如果某一地區現在就有這樣的石膏帶，那麽就能馬上利用了。
17:00
Otherwise, it can't be done.
300
1005000
2000
否則，就無法使用。
17:02
(Laughter)
301
1007000
1000
（笑聲）
17:03
(Applause)
302
1008000
2000
（掌聲）
17:05
CA: Thank you so much.
303
1010000
2000
克裡斯·安德森：非常感謝您。
17:07
(Applause)
304
1012000
2000
（掌聲）
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Anupam Mishra - Environmental activistTo promote smart water management, Anupam Mishra works to preserve rural India’s traditional rainwater harvesting techniques.
Why you should listen
Anupam Mishra travels across water-challenged India studying rainwater harvesting methods and learning from the people behind them. He presents his findings to NGOs, development agencies and environmental groups, pulling from centuries of indigenous wisdom that has found water for drinking and irrigation even in extremely arid landscapes through wells, filter ponds and other catchment systems.
A founding member of the Gandhi Peace Foundation, Mishra is working to bridge the gap between modern water management technology and india's heritage of water harvesting, so that every community is self-sustainable and efficiently safekeeping an increasingly scarce and precious resource.
