General situation of water conservancy construction Datang town is located in a special "karst" terrain, and the local water shortage is serious. The town's 2 1 1,000 mu paddy fields mainly rely on rainwater harvesting irrigation and pumping irrigation. Irrigation water is very difficult because there are long lines and many loopholes in small irrigation channels. The shortage of agricultural water is more prominent in the "double flush" in busy or dry season. In the spring of 2008, the cadres and the masses in this town raised 544,000 yuan, 440 tons of cement and other materials, 6 156 cubic meters of stone sand and 24,000 square meters of formwork, and put in voluntary labor 1500 person-times to carry out the total war of small-scale water conservancy construction in farmland.

In just three months, the town completed 35 kilometers of small-scale water conservancy demonstration project construction, effectively irrigated 6,543,800 mu of farmland, and achieved a great leap in increasing income.
