The Guo Guoguo is a specialty of Naxi District and a national agricultural product geographical logo product. It is named after its fruit, strong flavor, and pure taste. There are a total of more than 5,000 acres of Guo Guo Pomelo. In August of the previous year, the Guo Guo Pomelo should be emerald green. The fruit was full of water and hung on the branches. This year, due to the long -term high temperature weather, it caused drought. When walking into the orchard, some fruits have been dry, and some have been exposed to unhealthy pale yellow. A few "grapefruit strong" touched with their hands, and it was a bit soft.

"Our strategy has now transformed from Baozu to Poyu Trees." Chen Yu, secretary of the Party Branch of Laohua Village, said that due to drought, this year's grapefruit has faced production reduction, and high temperature weather has also threatened grapefruit trees. In order to protect the fruit trees, give it to the fruit tree. In the next year, I hope that the villagers will water the grapefruit trees. For their orchards, the villagers are also actively investing in their work.

For drought -resistant fruit and fruit tree, we must first solve the problem of water pumping machine. Chen Yu led the village cadres to maintain the use of water pumping machines that was not useful in the village for two or three years, and then laid a pipeline. For the fruit trees that cannot be poured in the pipeline, the village will be pulled to the nearest reservoir, and then the fruit farmers will be used to use the water from the inside. From the beginning of August to the present, the drought of some fruit trees in the 7 clubs in the village has been relieved.

When she was preparing to pour the fruit tree, Chen Yu also encountered a problem, starting from which club, because each one was short of water. "In the end, we solved this problem through the villagers' congress." Chen Yu told reporters that from which society began to decide by ordinary people, there would be no contradiction. At about 4 o'clock in the morning, while the temperature did not rise, the fruit farmers in the village began to sprinkle water in the orchard. The surface temperature is high in the afternoon, and it must be waited until it is dark before starting the homework. Therefore, the Laohua Village in the evening in the evening is more lively.

In addition to the needs of fruit trees, villagers in Huahua Village are also short of water. It is understood that the villages of Laohua Village are the first village to send water to residents. Because the terrain of the village belongs to the half dam and half -cliffs, the natural water sources available are even scarce. As early as August, Chen Yu and the cadres of the village bought a barrel rental and started to send water. The night before, collecting water -derived people in various communities, designing the best route, and starting to send water at 6 o'clock the next day, and reasonably arranged a lot of time to save village cadres.

Although it was the earliest village to send water, as of now, Laohua Village only requested the fire truck to send the water once when the most needed help, and the rest were solved by Murakami himself. This is very proud of Chen Yu. "We encourage self -help. I often say in the village work group that everyone must understand more complaints." Chen Yu told reporters that Murakami was trying to find water sources, and Huahua Village was also working together to fight drought together.
