The project will serve ten villages in northern China’s Longde County, where harsh conditions have been made more difficult by a water shortage. The project will affect 15 187 people, 3 708 of whom are children, and will take 18 months to complete. The estimated completion date is June 2011.

Currently, villagers have to walk one mile to fetch spring water, and it takes one hour to collect a container of water that weighs 20 kilograms. That water must satisfy a whole family and livestock for one day.
