Isibonelelo sika-$9 million esivela ku-USDA sikhuthaze imizamo yokwakha inethiwekhi yokuqapha isimo sezulu nomhlabathi eWisconsin. Le nethiwekhi, ebizwa ngokuthi iMesonet, ithembisa ukusiza abalimi ngokugcwalisa izikhala kudatha yomhlabathi nesimo sezulu.
Imali ye-USDA izoya e-UW-Madison ukuze kudalwe lokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-Rural Wisconsin Partnership, ehlose ukudala izinhlelo zomphakathi phakathi kweyunivesithi namadolobha asemakhaya.
Enye yephrojekthi enjalo kuzoba ukudalwa kweWisconsin Environmental Mesonet. UChris Kucharik, usihlalo woMnyango Wezolimo eNyuvesi yaseWisconsin-Madison, uthe uhlela ukudala inethiwekhi yeziteshi zokuqapha isimo sezulu nomhlabathi ezingu-50 kuya ku-120 ezifundeni kulo lonke izwe.
Amamonitha aqukethe ama-tripod ensimbi, angaba ngamafidi ayisithupha ubude, anezinzwa ezilinganisa isivinini somoya kanye nesiqondiso, umswakama, izinga lokushisa kanye nemisebe yelanga, esho. Amamonitha ahlanganisa nezinsimbi ezingaphansi komhlaba ezilinganisa izinga lokushisa lomhlabathi kanye nomswakama.
“IWisconsin iyinto engavamile uma iqhathaniswa nomakhelwane bethu kanye nezinye izifundazwe ezweni ngokuba nenethiwekhi ezinikele noma inethiwekhi yokuqoqwa kwedatha yokubuka,” kusho uKucharik.
UKucharik uthe okwamanje kuneziqaphi ezingu-14 eziteshini zocwaningo lwezolimo zaseyunivesithi ezindaweni ezifana ne-Door County peninsula, futhi eminye yemininingwane abalimi abayisebenzisayo manje ivela kunethiwekhi kazwelonke yamavolontiya e-National Weather Service. Uthe idatha ibalulekile kodwa ibikwa kanye kuphela ngosuku.
Isibonelelo sikahulumeni esingu-$9 million, kanye no-$1 million ovela kwiWisconsin Alumni Research Fund, sizokhokhela abasebenzi kanye nabasebenzi abadingekayo ukuze kudalwe, kuqoqwe futhi kusatshalaliswe idatha yesimo sezulu kanye nenhlabathi.
“Sifuna ngempela ukwakha inethiwekhi ebanzi ezosinika ukufinyelela kudatha yakamuva yesimo sezulu kanye nomhlabathi ngesikhathi sangempela ukuze sisekele izimpilo zabalimi basemakhaya, abaphathi bomhlaba namanzi, kanye nokwenza izinqumo ngamahlathi,” kusho uKucharik. “Kunohlu olude lwabantu abazozuza kulokhu kuthuthukiswa kwenethiwekhi.”
UJerry Clark, uthisha wezolimo e-University of Wisconsin-Madison's Chippewa County Extension Center, uthe igridi ehlanganisiwe izosiza abalimi ukuthi benze izinqumo ezibalulekile mayelana nokutshala, ukunisela kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi akusizi nje kuphela ngokombono wokukhiqiza izitshalo, kodwa futhi nakwezinye izinto ezingalindelekile njengomanyolo lapho kungaba nezinzuzo ezithile,” kusho uClark.
Ikakhulukazi, uClark uthe abalimi bazoba nombono ongcono wokuthi inhlabathi yabo igcwele kakhulu yini ukwamukela umanyolo owuketshezi, okunganciphisa ukungcola kwamanzi agelezayo.
USteve Ackerman, iphini likashansela we-UW–Madison wocwaningo kanye nemfundo yeziqu, uhole inqubo yokufaka isicelo sesibonelelo se-USDA. USenator wase-US weDemocratic uTammy Baldwin umemezele uxhaso ngoDisemba 14.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuyinzuzo enkulu yokucwaninga ekhempasini yethu kanye nomqondo wonke weWisconsin,” kusho u-Ackerman.
U-Ackerman uthe iWisconsin isisemuva kwalezi zikhathi, njengoba ezinye izifundazwe bezilokhu zinenethiwekhi ephelele yezifunda kusukela ngawo-1990, futhi “kuhle ukuba naleli thuba manje.”
