Chapter 1209 Reservoir Repair

The spring of [-] gradually passed, and summer came.Since spring, there has been very little precipitation in Shuangshui Village, but because the Dongla River and Kuiyan River still flow through, there is no shortage of water in the village, and the crops in the fields are also irrigated, and nothing happened in Zhongshan City.

But as the weather got hotter and the rain never came, seeing the land in the village getting drier, everyone's hearts were scorched.The sun hangs high in the sky, the leaves of the crops on the mountain are about to be dried, all the greenery is beginning to fade, and some crops are even starting to wither and turn yellow.

Farmers, out of instinct and habit, tried every means to give the crops more water, hoping that the lives watered by their blood and sweat could survive.

Everyone is worried about this year's harvest and next year's livelihood. If there is no food harvest, everyone can't live on the few eggs in the chicken farm, right?
In the village, only the crops on the irrigated land near the Sichuan Road are still fresh. That is also because it is close to the water source and has been irrigated once with a pump after falling into the ambush.But if the weather continues to be so dry, sooner or later these lands will also face water shortages.

The water level stored in the dam of the Dongla River is lowering day by day. This water needs to be used by the farms and the cultivated land beside the river, but no water flows down from the upper reaches.This small river, starting from the birthplace of Xiashan Village, has already been intercepted by the villages along the way, even if it is a tributary.

As for the water in the Weeping River, there was no more water left.According to the inference of the elders, if there is no more precipitation, within a week, the crops on the mountain will be wiped out.

Seeing that there is no hope for the crops on the mountain, the only hope for the whole village now is the little irrigated land by the side of the river.

From the province to the region, from the region to the county, and from the county to the commune, documents on drought resistance were issued one by one, calling on leaders at all levels to fight with the villagers, against the sky, against the people, and against the land.

All the people in Shuangshui Village can do right now is to use a pole to carry buckets to water the crop fields in Chuandao before the water in the dam dries up.As for the water pump in the village, it has long been lying on the side and is useless. Besides, the poor river water can only be used up quickly with the water pump.

All the people in Shuangshui Village were mobilized and rushed to the dam one after another.At this time, the enthusiasm and self-consciousness of the villagers are unprecedented, and even some lazy people who do not usually come to participate in labor have come.Even if you can't lift the bucket and use a washbasin or earthen pot to carry water, you must do your part.

There is no longer the flood irrigation method of watering the ground in the past. It is just a little bit of water with a bowl or a water ladle for each seedling, so that the seedlings can breathe a little bit.

The situation in Shuangshui Village should be relatively better. The dams have been continuously raised in the past few years, and finally the irrigated land along the Sichuan Road will not be completely harvested.But this amount of water is only enough for the irrigated fields near the Sichuan Road to take a breather, as for the cultivated land on the mountain, there is no way to solve it.

Everyone was very serious about this little water. Not only did Murakami send patrols to watch it, but everyone even watched it when they had some free time, for fear that something might happen to this little water.

The dams in Xiashan Village, Shigejie Village, and Guanzi Village are full of water, and they are even using water pumps to irrigate the fields. People in Shuangshui Village are not envious.Especially in Shigejie Village, the dam in their village has the most water, not only the water of Dongla River has been intercepted, but the Xingshu River, a tributary of Dongla River, has also been intercepted. Now Shigejie Festival has become a veritable festival. "Shuangshui Village".

Zhao Shucheng has no good solution to the current situation, because drought is a common phenomenon now.The dams in several upstream villages do not release water, which also has their own difficulties, not to mention that Shuangshui Village has not yet reached the most dangerous time.

But just waiting for water like this, or using the body to carry water to water it, can't solve the actual problem.This year's drought is very dangerous for Shuangshui Village, but why not an opportunity?

In the past, the cultivated land in the village had not been systematically planned. They were all terraced fields built along the mountain roads. There was no problem in normal times, but when encountering such a drought, there was no way to cultivate and irrigate these places, and there was no way to solve the water shortage. The problem.

In order to solve the drought problem in these areas in the future, it is necessary to build a reservoir on the top of the mountain. Not to mention that it can resist severe drought, but at least it can alleviate the drought to a certain extent.In addition, Shuangshui Village cannot rely entirely on the water from the Dongla River. Reservoirs must be built in other places in the village to fundamentally solve the problem that Shuangshui Village can only rely on the Dongla River for agricultural irrigation.

Tian Futang was also restless, holding a cigarette in his hand, holding it as usual, not smoking, just lowering his head to smell it from time to time.

He is as anxious as the people in the village. He knows that if the crops in the village cannot be kept this year, let alone next spring, even if there is no food in the village this winter, it will still be supported by chicken farms.

But if the food problem is not solved, the villagers will not be able to eat at that time, not to mention whether the chicken farm can continue to operate, it will be good if the villagers don't go out to beg for food.But if he really went out to beg for food, as the leader of the village, where would he put his face?
Not to mention that Shuangshui Village is now a typical example of the whole commune, the village with the best conditions, and other village party chiefs are watching, and they may laugh at Tian Futang behind his back.

As for the issue of disliking other villages for not releasing water, he has no such idea now.Now it's the eldest brother, not the second brother, and it's not like their village didn't release water for people in other villages.

Tian Futang knew very well that everyone in the village was looking at him, hoping that he could come up with a solution, but now that the water in the river was the last, what could he do?If there is a lot of water in the river, Tian Futang can't go to fetch water to irrigate the fields without sleeping with the villagers, but he can't do it now.

Zhao Shucheng told him before that the water in this dam is not only used for the river, but more importantly, it is used for the farms in the village.Now that the drought has become a foregone conclusion, the farm is the guarantee for Shuangshui Village to overcome the food shortage for a period of time in the future. It is absolutely impossible to let the chicken farm fall into a water shortage situation.

Zhao Shucheng came to the brigade headquarters to discuss the next thing about drought relief.

After a while, members of the village committee and cadres of the production team came to the brigade headquarters one after another. Except for some villagers who were waiting anxiously outside, everyone else realized that the content of this meeting was nothing more than to solve the water shortage problem, but no one holds out much hope.

Tian Futang said: "I see that all cadres, big and small, have come and sat down. Let's keep today's meeting brief. In fact, everyone knows what it is about. Look at the big sun, ah, the crops are drying up Now, my heart is going to dry up too."

Jin Junshan is also here. Since the last time he made a fool of himself, although the village director is still working, he has no sense of existence.

"Now I'm counting on the water from the Sichuan River to irrigate the land. The water in the Dongla River has been occupied by several villages upstream. How about letting them release some water?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Junshan, the problem you mentioned is unrealistic. Let's let them release water. Should our village also release water to the downstream villages?"

The others were silent when they heard it. It wasn't that they had thought about this problem, but they were reluctant to release the water, and the water was life-saving water for Shuangshui Village, so how could it be released to other villages?
"Then Shao'an, what do you think? You can't just watch the crops in the field being dried up, can you?"

Zhao Shucheng glanced at Jin Junwu who was speaking, and said, "Actually, even if the villages in the upper reaches are really released with water, will it really solve the problem? Not to mention, the ground is completely dry now, how much water is there? Can you get full?"

"Then you can't do nothing, just wait like this?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Of course it's not doing nothing. This year we have a dam, and the irrigated land beside the river can still hold up. If we divide this food, everyone should be able to survive until next spring. In addition, each family still has some food in reserve. , maybe it can last until next year's autumn harvest, am I right?"

"That's true. It's thanks to Shao'an that you led the villagers to keep raising the dam in the past two years. Otherwise, the water in our village would have run out long ago. But many people have already sold a lot of stored grain, and they may not be able to save it. No matter how much food is brought in, it may not be able to last until next year."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said: "Don't worry about the food issue. As long as it lasts until next spring, the country's relief food will come down, and the people in our village will never be hungry. But such a thing of relying on the sky for food, there is a once-in-a-lifetime situation." The lesson is enough, our village cannot have a next time."

"Shao'an, what are you thinking, tell us." Tian Futang looked at Zhao Shucheng and asked.

"Okay, then let me talk about it! First of all, the agricultural irrigation and watering of our village is based on the Dongla River and the Kuiyan River. It can still be supported, but other arable land can only be watched. It will not work if it continues like this. We don’t say that there are nine droughts in ten years, but there are still eight years. It’s just that our village is next to the Dongla River, and the drought is not serious. It still has no impact on us, but it will not work when we encounter a severe drought like this year."

"If we want to solve the problem of relying on the sky, we should build more water conservancy facilities. Even if the water in the Dongla River stops in the future, all the cultivated land in the village can be irrigated. The only way is to build large-scale Reservoirs. Especially in the cultivated land on the east and west sides of the village, if there is a reservoir under the mountain or on the mountain, it can reduce the impact of drought on the cultivated land, at least in this year's situation, it can last for a while."

"Why build a reservoir?"

"Can this work be done? How can such a large project be done in such a drought?"

"That's right, why don't you think of a way to let the first few villages release water? Such a drought may not be encountered once in a few years."

Seeing that other people had opinions, Zhao Shucheng patted the table next to him and said, "I know what everyone thinks. Do you think it's inappropriate to do this at such a time? But I think this is just the right time. On the one hand, apart from Chuan Dao The irrigated land and farms on the side need to be taken care of, and no one else has other things to do, so this will not work. Another thing, this time is just taking advantage of the drought, you can find a few places suitable for building large reservoirs, and you can go down Digging a few meters deeper can store more rainwater..."

In the end, Zhao Shucheng's statement convinced everyone and decided to build several large reservoirs around the village depending on the terrain.Moreover, Zhao Shucheng also made a good plan this time. Most of the excavated soil was directly fired into bricks, which could be directly used on the embankment later.
