To facilitate water collection, the construction team dug out numerous irrigation canals on the mountain; I heard there were hundreds of them.
The irrigation canals collect rainwater from all directions and channel it into the reservoir. A water tower and water purification facilities are built above the reservoir. Although it's located above, to prevent the reservoir from bursting due to excessive water, there are also drainage outlets on top. These outlets are spring-loaded devices that open outwards.
Normally it is closed. When there is too much water in the reservoir, the pressure inside the reservoir will open the drain outlet to discharge the excess water.
In addition to celebrating the completion of the reservoir, Bao Yu also brought a batch of bathing equipment with him on this trip.
These devices were purchased with money donated by everyone later. Moreover, at the same time, with the support of the government, almost every household in the village installed solar panels.
This area is sparsely populated and receives ample sunshine. These solar panels not only solve the electricity problem for their own household, but also recycle excess electricity.
It also provided a source of income for the local people.
Everyone laughed happily as they watched the water gushing out of the kitchen. Because of the cold winters, the water pipes here are buried deep underground, reaching every household. This way, even in the coldest winter, everyone has access to water.
This reservoir directly solves the drinking water problem for three nearby villages, but it cannot provide a large amount of water for the villagers to irrigate their crops.
However, the local people are already very content: "Every household has a water storage well. Now that we have this reservoir, our water problem is solved, and we can safely use the water from the wells to irrigate the fields."
"Yes, now the roads in the village have been repaired and we have water. This is something we never dared to dream of in our lifetimes. We are so grateful to the government, the production team, and our brothers and sisters all over the country for their help. Our village will be grateful to everyone for generations to come!"
Everyone has experienced hardship, and they will not waste water recklessly just because they have it. They will still collect their domestic sewage and use it to irrigate their crops.
Bao Yu knew that this was the only way things could be; the geographical environment here was what it was, which destined the crops grown here to grow differently from those in other places.
Amidst the cheers of the people, the year-long charity event finally came to a successful conclusion.
During the same period, road construction in Xiaoyang Village also came to an end.
The "Parenting" program team produced a promotional video of about an hour and a half, making a clear comparison between the past and the present.
These two projects will be something that the "Parenting" program team, and even the entire N City TV station, can be proud of for a lifetime.
Bao Yu never expected that this charity event would take so long.
Although Bao Yu would occasionally go back for a few days, he was mostly away from home. Throughout the year, Gu Nanxi turned down almost all her work and stayed home with her child.
It would be a complete lie for Bao Yu to say she wasn't moved. The younger brother was hers, but it was he who took on the responsibility of caring for him on her behalf.
Because of his job, he could only stay at home, and despite being in the prime of his career, he had to stop all his work.
This caused his efforts, which had yielded some initial success over the past year, to vanish almost entirely in one fell swoop. However, Gu Nanxi always showed concern for her, assuring her not to worry.
