I-Australia Ibeka Izinzwa Zomgangatho Wamanzi kwiGreat Barrier Reef

Urhulumente wase-Australia ubeke izixhobo zokuvavanya amanzi kwiindawo ezithile zeGreat Barrier Reef ukuze abhale phantsi umgangatho wamanzi.

IGreat Barrier Reef igubungela malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-344,000 zeekhilomitha ukusuka kunxweme olukumntla-mpuma we-Australia. Iqulethe amakhulu eziqithi kunye namawaka ezakhiwo zendalo, ezaziwa ngokuba ziingqaqa.

Ezi sensor zilinganisa amanqanaba enkunkuma kunye nezinto zekhabhoni eziphuma kuMlambo iFitzroy ukuya eKeppel Bay kwiphondo laseQueensland. Le ndawo ikwinxalenye esemazantsi eGreat Barrier Reef. Ezi zinto zingonakalisa ubomi baselwandle.

I-arhente karhulumente wase-Australia iCommonwealth Scientific iqhuba le nkqubo. Le arhente ithi le mizamo isebenzisa izinzwa kunye nedatha yesathelayithi ukulinganisa utshintsho kumgangatho wamanzi.

Iingcali zithi umgangatho wemilambo yaseOstreliya eselunxwemeni nasemanzini usengozini ngenxa yobushushu obufudumeleyo, ukwanda kwabantu ezidolophini, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kunye nongcoliseko.

U-Alex Held ukhokela le nkqubo. Uxelele i-VOA ukuba inkunkuma inokuba yingozi kwizidalwa zaselwandle kuba inokuthintela ukukhanya kwelanga phantsi kolwandle. Ukungabikho kokukhanya kwelanga kunokonakalisa ukukhula kwezityalo zaselwandle kunye nezinye izinto eziphilayo. Inkunkuma inokuhlala phezu kweengqaqa zekorale, nto leyo echaphazela ubomi baselwandle apho.

UHeld uthe ezi sensors kunye neesathelayithi ziza kusetyenziselwa ukulinganisa ukusebenza kakuhle kweenkqubo ezenzelwe ukunciphisa ukuhamba kwamanzi, okanye ukugeleza kwamanzi, elwandle.

UHeld uqaphele ukuba urhulumente wase-Australia sele eqhuba uthotho lweenkqubo ezijolise ekunciphiseni imiphumo yenkunkuma kwindalo yaselwandle. Ezi ziquka imizamo yokugcina izityalo zikhula ecaleni komlambo nakwezinye iindawo zamanzi ukunceda ukugcina inkunkuma ingangeni.

Iingcali zendalo zilumkisile ukuba iGreat Barrier Reef ijongene neengozi ezininzi. Ezi ziquka utshintsho lwemozulu, ungcoliseko kunye nokuchitheka kwamanzi kwiimveliso zezolimo. Le reef - ebaleka malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-2,300 - ibikuluhlu lweLifa leMveli leZizwe eziManyeneyo ukusukela ngo-1981.

Sineentlobo ngeentlobo zeenzwa zomgangatho wamanzi, ezisetyenziswa kakhulu kushishino, ekufuyweni kwezilwanyana zasemanzini, ekukhuselweni kokusingqongileyo nakwezinye iindawo.
