1。那么這個世界的水資源真的正在枯竭嗎？其實不然。地球上的淡水總量超過了人類任何可能需要的數量。不過得把那一點告訴約旦政府；自從以色列讓它的最大水源約旦河改道以后，約旦政府已經快把自己的地下水抽干了。tell that to the government of Jordan：把那一點告訴約旦政府。that所指的內容似乎應該在前文中提到，應該是關于水患危機；從意思來看，不應該是The total quantity of fresh water on Earth exceeds all possible human needs。the river Jordan：約旦河。這里river可以大寫，也可以小寫。做its largest water resource的同位語。2。答案是：雖然沒有全球范圍的水患危機，但很多局部地區的水患危機卻十分嚴重。這些危機（的原因）有投入的不足，對于跨國界河流的政治紛爭，以及純粹愚蠢的水資源管理。crises of underinvestment：（因）投入的不足（而造成的）危機；underinvestment是投入上的不足，不光指經濟上的投資，還指人力、政策等方面的不足。plain idiotic water management：純粹愚蠢的水資源管理；plain在這里的意思是“全然的”。

But后tellthattothegovermentofJordan”但是把這一點(常識)告訴約旦政府吧“,其中that指代 eriverJordan約旦河,作itslargestwatersource的同位語,約旦最大的河流資源。Therearecrisesofunderinvestment存在著投資不足的危險。ofplainidioticwatermanagement平原水資源管理不聰明。
