A line of cars snakes around the Metrocenter, an abandoned mall in Jackson, Mississippi’s capital and its largest city. The car park has weeds a foot high and potholes twice as wide. But it has recently come to life again, as one of seven temporary distribution sites handing out cases of bottled water to Jackson’s 150,000 residents. Clean tap water stopped flowing into their homes over a week ago.
密西西比州首府及其最大的城市杰克逊的一个废弃的购物中心，一排汽车在地铁中心(Metrocenter)蜿蜒前行。停车场有一英尺高的杂草和两倍宽的坑洞。但最近它又恢复了生机，成为七个临时分发点之一，向杰克逊的15万居民分发一箱箱的瓶装水。一周前，干净的自来水停止流入他们的家。
On August 29th excessive rainfall caused the Pearl River, which runs through Jackson, to overflow. The storm took out the city’s main water-treatment plant, where pumps had already been failing. Because the floods reduced water pressure throughout the system, a back-up plant was not able to keep up with demand.
8月29日，过多的降雨导致流经杰克逊的珠江泛滥。这场暴风雨摧毁了该市主要的水处理厂，那里的水泵已经出现故障。由于洪水降低了整个系统的水压，备用工厂无法满足需求。
