From 2000-2004, the provincial government invested 550 million yuan (US$68 million) for the construction of 604 water supply projects for people and livestock in its rural and pastoral regions, Xing said. “Those projects provided better water supplies to more than 1. 35 million farmers and herdsmen in the province, and greatly improved local agricultural production and animal husbandry.

Zhong Gengquan, a herdsman living in Hualong, one of the poverty-stricken counties in the province, enjoyed a better water supply in early 2005 and his family enjoyed a good income thanks to an agricultural production growth because of proper irrigation. “The better water supply did not only give us better water to drink, but also helped the vegetables in my greenhouse, which helped me to earn 8,000 yuan (US$1,000) last year for my family,” Zhong said.Related: … software company Jive acquires Jotlet, gets better project… [...]
