Water is a huge problem around the world.
水是世界各地的一个大问题。
And that breaks up into two different segments.
这包括两部分。
And that's scarcity and that's contamination of our drinking water.
一是水资源的稀缺性，另一个是饮用水的污染。
A lot of times, contamination of our drinking water leads to scarcity.
很多时候，我们的饮用水短缺都是因为水资源被污染了。
And sometimes contamination also leads to water overuse.
有时污染也会导致水的过度使用。
When water is overused, land is usually depleted, which changes the climate in the area.
当水被过度使用时，土地通常会很贫瘠，从而又会改变该地区的气候。
So it's all basically this ripple effect, which eventually leads to water scarcity, and people don't have drinking water.
所以就形成了这种连锁反应，最终导致水资源短缺，人们没有饮用水。
A lot of my work has been revolved around using science and technology as a catalyst for social change.
我的主要工作就是利用科技催化社会变革。
And really, that started at the age of 4 or 5.
真的，我从4、5岁就开始做这件事了。
My uncle got me this science kit, which obviously changed my life forever.
我叔叔给我买了一个科学工具包，显然它永远改变了我的生活。
And now it's almost like a habit, right?
现在它几乎成了我的一个习惯，对吧？
I look at this world in a different perspective and attempt to solve problems that I see in my community.
我从不同的视角看待这个世界，并试图解决我在社区中看到的问题。
After going to Flint, Michigan a couple of times and seeing that firsthand, evidently not having access to clean drinking water results in a lot of different health crises.
在去过密歇根州的弗林特几次后，我亲眼看到，因为无法获得清洁的饮用水而引发的诸多不同健康危机。
But beyond, that it actually impacts the education system, it impacts the community, impacts the government in only negative ways.
但除此之外，这个问题实际上还影响了教育系统，影响了社区，而且对政府也只有负面影响。
And I saw that cascading impact happen in real life.
我在生活中也看到了它的连锁影响。
Their whole economy deteriorated.
整个经济都在恶化。
And it proves to show that water is a fundamental thing that we all need to quite literally live our daily lives.
它证明了水是我们日常生活所需要的基本物质。
From a community or individual level, the biggest way to tackle water scarcity is doing simple things in your daily life-- watering the lawn for five minutes less, or taking a shorter shower for a couple of days.
从社区或个人层面来说，解决缺水的最佳办法就是在日常生活中做一些简单的小事--少给草坪浇水5分钟，或者缩短几天的淋浴时间。
And if we're looking at state level, it's talking about replacing our pipes often.
如果从州的层面来说，那就是经常更换输水管道。
A lot of times the pipes leading from the water facility to your house is where most of the contamination happens.
很多时候，从供水点到你家的输水管道是污染最严重的地方。
So we have to make sure our water quality facility has all the resources that they need to make sure that we have clean drinking water.
因此，我们必须确保我们的水质设施拥所需的所有资源，以确保我们拥有清洁的饮用水。
Ensuring that we're preventing that climate change crisis from occurring too much by helping out with solar panel installation, looking at how we can make filters in homes a state wide regulation, and within that national level, making sure that people are testing their water on a regular basis and testing for water in schools and homes is a federal regulation.
确保这一点，我们可以安装太阳能电池板，研究如何将在家中安装过滤器变为全州法规，以及在国家层面上，确保人们定期检测水质，并根据联邦法规要求，让学校和家庭检测水质，这样可以防止气候危机过于严重。
Really, what I've seen all over the news and in some of the work that I've done is actually looking at the applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data and analytics in predicting the future of our water.
真的，我在新闻里看到的，以及自己所做的一些工作，其实就是利用人工智能、机器学习、数据和分析，来预测水资源未来的情况。
Looking at how we can use our past information about water scarcity to predict the future of it as well, and at the same time looking at how artificial intelligence can learn from itself and create even better environmental conservation techniques in the future of our world.
看看我们如何利用以往关于水资源匮乏的信息来预测它的未来，看人工智能如何自学，并在未来创造更好的环境保护技术。
It's going to create a lot of different solutions that even humans might not be able to come up.
它将创造出许多连人类都想不出来的解决方案。
With the climate strikes occurring, with more activists being out there and talking about the importance of climate change and water scarcity, I'm only looking forward towards a positive future.
气候剧变时有发生，更多的活动家们在谈论气候变化和水资源匮乏的重要性，我期待一个更加光明的未来。
But I think it's definitely an issue we should tackle within the next 10 years.
但我认为这绝对是我们应该在未来10年内解决的问题。
