The mountain ponds have dried up, the seedlings "thirst", and "heat waves" are rolling. Recently, the high temperature and drought have continued. Ordinary people who are in the front line of Changde in Hunan are silently adhered to their own ways.

Finding water- "This is the one I hit the most well."

Under a osmanthus tree in Gang City Village, Guanxi Town, Changde City, Hunan Province, Shen Yunxiang and workers found a groundwater source, set up tower, set up tools, and started to hit wells. Since August, Shen Yunxiang has played more than 20 drought resistance. This osmanthus tree is the only shade that appears in all the operation site.

"I started full -time wells in 1985. This month is the most one month." Shen Yunxiang, 58, said that his team has more than 20 people. Currently, he has worked in Hunan in many places.

According to Shen Yunxiang's rough statistics, since this round of drought, the drought -resistant wells that they had had more than 10,000 acres of farmland were irrigated.

Well is a technical work. The key is to find the location of the groundwater source. In addition to relying on advanced equipment such as water -looking instruments, it also needs to combine experience. "The mountain mouth is to the mountain mouth, there is good water under the mouth", "picking the ground, finding the water is the most favorable" ... Shen Yunxiang preserved a large number of predecessors and colleagues on the mobile phone to find the "secrets" written by water.

At the homework site, Shen Yunxiang kept answering the call from the workers to the work of the workers, and directed them to solve the problem of equipment failure, and could hardly talk to reporters.

It is still a "long -lasting battle". The well is successful in the water. It is short for three or five days, and it takes ten days and a half months.

"Three days, the well in Gangshi Village can get out of the water." Shen Yunxiang said that as soon as the water came out, they immediately rushed to the next place, and there were more than a dozen villages waiting for them.

Pipe water- "I sleep for a maximum of 4 hours a day"

There are countless stars above the head, and there are endless mosquitoes around me. For a month, Zeng Dihua spent every night.

Older was the controller of Xiaojiachong Reservoir in Cuijiaqiao Town, Hanshou County, Changde City. The Xiao Jiachong Reservoir is a small (1) reservoir, which provides irrigation water for the local crops of 4,000 acres of local crops. In order to safely use water, he must be on duty on the reservoir dam overnight. Due to the continuous drought, the current water storage capacity is only 400,000 cubic meters, which is less than one -third of the normal period.

If there is less water, you must use it accurately. When you put water, how much you put in, and where you put it, you need to arrange reasonably and dispatch the town according to the degree of drought in each village. Only after receiving the instructions in the town, the old man could open the gates to release the water.

The old man was an enthusiastic intestine. He controlled the reservoir at night and went to the villages during the day to help. He either raised the pumping machine with the villagers to the water source to drain the water, or to dredge the long -lost water canal with the villagers. "During this time, I slept for up to 4 hours a day, and the clothes on my body have never been done." Older said that I can send every drop of water in the reservoir to the most needed place, every night, every night, and flowing every night, A drop of sweat is worth it.

Send water- "What can do with strength, be practical in my heart"

Gong Wenke, 53, is a native of Taichangshan Village, Junpu Town, Hanshou County. He usually does business in the county. In early August, there was a drought in the local area. He has always been enthusiastic about public welfare. There are currently more than 200 barrels of water and more than 4,000 liters.

There is a medium -sized reservoir in Junshanpu Town, but due to the large area and the population of the local area, and the current water storage capacity of the reservoir is only 50%of the normal time, the water used in the town is tight, so the fire truck is uniformly delivered by the fire truck during the day.

Gong Wenke told reporters that he felt that fire trucks could not solve all problems, so he began his own water delivery plan. At first Gong Wenke sent the water on his own. The fellows always wanted to stuff vegetables and eggs for him. Later, he tried to arrange the company employees to send it and told them not to collect anything from the fellow villagers.

In the past month, 64 -year -old villagers Zhang Fu'an regularly received 4 barrels of pure water from Gong Wenke every week. For Zhang Fu'an, who had 4 children at home, it really solved the urgent need.

In addition to sending water, Gong Wenke also purchased tens of thousands of drought resistance in the village. He said that when he saw his hometown of disaster and did something that he could do, he was at ease.
