据法国BFM电视台报道，法国地质局（BRGM）于周四表示，截至10月1日，法国三分之二的地下水监测点水位低于月度正常水平。
Two-thirds of groundwater monitoring sites in France were below monthly normal levels as of Oct. 1, the French Geological Survey (BRGM) said Thursday, according to broadcaster BFM.
地质局在其月度公报中表示：“鉴于66%的观测点水位低于月度正常水平，地下水形势依然令人非常担忧。”
“With 66% of observation points having levels below monthly norms, the groundwater situation remains very concerning,” the geological survey said in its monthly bulletin.
报告称，法国全国的地下水水位仍在持续下降，而一年中的这个时候通常是季节性蓄水开始的时期。
It said groundwater levels were continuing to decline across France, while the usual trend at this time of year would be the beginning of seasonal replenishment.
根据该报告，法国经历了有记录以来最热的夏天，24小时平均气温达到24摄氏度（75.2华氏度），比1991-2020年的平均气温高出3.6摄氏度（6.5华氏度）。夏季降雨量少导致了严重的干旱天气，且干旱一直持续到10月。
France experienced its hottest summer on record, with an average 24-hour temperature of 24C (75.2F), 3.6C (6.5F) above the 1991-2020 average, according to the report. Low rainfall during the summer contributed to severe drought conditions, which have continued into October.
根据VigiEau水情信息服务网的数据，10月初，法国有79个省份处于“危机”限制状态，14个省份处于“高度警报”措施状态，限制用水。
According to the VigiEau water information service, 79 French departments were under “crisis” restrictions and 14 under “heightened alert” measures at the start of October, limiting water use.
法国环境部的数据显示，截至9月底，法国本土约有9.4万人面临断水，比月初增加了3万人。
Some 94,000 people in metropolitan France were without running water at the end of September, 30,000 more than at the beginning of the month, according to the Environment Ministry.
BRGM表示，全国大部分地区的地下水状况都在恶化，但东南部的一些地区除外，例如加尔省的维斯特伦克（Vistrenque）含水层和埃罗省瓦尔拉斯-阿格德（Valras-Agde）周围的阿斯蒂安（Astien）沙层。
Groundwater levels were degraded across most of the country, the BRGM said, with some exceptions in the southeast, including the Vistrenque aquifers in the Gard region and the Astien sands around Valras-Agde in the Herault region.
调查还发现，几个含水层系统的水位特别低，包括利穆赞（Limousin）、莫尔旺（Morvan）、利夫拉杜瓦（Livradois）、福雷（Forez）和维瓦赖（Vivarais），以及香槟（Champagne）、汝拉（Jura）、孚日（Vosges）、洛林（Lorraine）和阿尔萨斯北部。肯BRGM表示，需要数月或数年才能对变化做出反应的“惯性”含水层继续下降，而几乎所有能在几周内对降雨做出反应的“反应型”含水层的水位也在下降。
The survey also identified particularly low levels in several aquifer systems, including those in Limousin, Morvan, Livradois, Forez and Vivarais, as well as Champagne, Jura, Vosges, Lorraine and northern Alsace. The BRGM said “inertial” aquifers, which can take months or years to respond to changes, continued to decline, while levels in almost all “reactive” aquifers, which can respond to rainfall within weeks, were also falling.
