The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns.

地下蓄水层在 1000 英尺到 3000 英尺之间，这意味着抽水成本高昂，而且还有一些其他的问题。

Given the aquifer's low recharge rate, its use for irrigation is causing water tables to drop and will eventually lead to its depletion.

因蓄水层回灌率低，灌溉用水致水源枯竭。

He said taking water from the aquifer may be risky because it is far away and the water is hundreds of meters below ground.

他说，从含水层取水可能有风险，因为它离得很远，而且藏在地下数百米。
