在乾旱时，每天有几小时停止供应自来水。

The water is turn off for several hour a day during the drought .

公共车道逢雨便一片泥泞，夏季乾旱时还会刮起沙尘暴。

During the dry season , soil particles and plant matter would have settled slowly to the bottom of the shallow lakes and swamps , eventually forming the blue clays and lignite .

此外，并以断水处理来了解牛樟苗面临乾旱环境时的生理表现。

Furthermore , I also conducted a water-withholding experiment to see the physiological responses of the cutting seedlings under droughty condition .
