“Now it's alright, the government sent a pump. I can fill the 3 acres of paddy field in just 1 hour.” At noon on May 20th, the 65-year-old grain farmer was on the side of Daba Mountain, Ganba Village, Laoxing Township, Longshan County, Hunan Province. Renxiang looked at the turbulent water from the pump, and the clouds on his face had finally dispersed. As of the afternoon of the same day, 10 pumps and 800 meters of water pipes for the township have all reached the first line of severe drought and started work.

The author learned from the county's agricultural, agricultural, and meteorological departments that since the spring of this year, precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has drastically decreased year-on-year, and the drought in this county has become more prominent. Since May, although there have been three precipitations, due to precipitation Small amount of rainfall and short precipitation time did not effectively alleviate the drought. As the fine weather continued, the drought in the county continued to expand.

All departments at all levels were required to use all their forces to protect the production and guarantee the stability of rural grassroots society. From May 20 onwards, the county will gradually distribute water pumps to villages, and new agricultural implements such as water pumps purchased by the people will be used. Nearly a thousand water pumps will reach the drought-ridden fields, which will promptly ease the drought everywhere. At the same time, the county also requires power, oil companies and other departments to ensure the supply of electricity and diesel and other energy sources, it must be the first to put drought-resistant oil and electricity.

"With the help of the government, we have our own struggle. We can now rely on food from heaven to rely on science and technology to eat." After seeing the close of a thousand water pumps come in handy, the drought situation gradually eased, and Lao Xingcun secretary Li Tien said with joy.
