To serve the irrigation needs of the people, the Team has divided specific tasks for each member to directly pump water, and at the same time mobilized people to dredge canals to bring water to the fields when the crop season comes. This spring, the areas where people grow rice have been pumped with enough water. Some households are taking advantage of the time to pump water for the tea area to prepare for the first harvest of the year.
