This is how these young engineers envision Jacksonville, a coastal city in Florida in the next 100 years.

这就是这些年轻工程师对佛罗里达州沿海城市杰克逊维尔未来百年的设想。

The model called Agua Prope, meaning clean water, was presented by a team of middle school students from Houston at the Future City Nationals in Washington DC.

这款名为Agua Prope的模型寓意为"洁净之水"，由休斯顿中学生团队在华盛顿特区举办的未来城市全国总决赛中展示。

The students' goal was to build a city with a clean and reliable water supply.

学生们的目标是建造一座拥有清洁可靠供水系统的城市。

Many members on the Houston team have roots in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most populated city, where water shortages and access to clean water are a persistent problem.

休斯顿队的许多队员都来自巴基斯坦最大且人口最多的城市卡拉奇，那里长期面临水资源短缺和难以获得清洁用水的问题。

Karachi right now is very behind, unlike America. A lot of people are on the streets, they don't have water to drink or they're drinking contaminated water needing any money. It's very hard to even like take showers over there.

卡拉奇现在非常落后，和美国不一样。很多人流落街头，他们没有水喝，或者只能喝被污染的水，而且身无分文。在那里连洗澡都很难。

And now go to Karachi for example, there's a lot of water shortage and power shortage.

以卡拉奇为例，那里严重缺水缺电。

For example, the water there costs a lot, and sometimes it's contaminated, sometimes which causes problems such as diarrhea, people getting sick and much more, and you don't have water in the house for days.

那里的水价格昂贵，而且有时还会受到污染，这会导致腹泻、人们生病等问题，甚至家中几天都没有水可用。
