For a long while, our school utilizes the high-quality mountain
springs, which come from the top of the mountain Haishu’s
village, four kilometers away. Learned men in our community had
already applied an allowance from the township
administration since 1980. They tried very hard to find out the
source of water from the forest lands of the official forests’
office, and connected the water to the school. In the past few
years, many hillsides had been developed as the tea gardens. The
original and primitive appearance of the bamboo and forests are
only maintained their life around the headspring of our school,
which continues offers the clean and safe water for teachers and
students. The springs are automatically guided to our school
through utilizing the physical phenomenon of the “siphon.” After
that, we will store the water in the large-scale water tower
separately in the school. And, we will keep on offering some
water to the community centre for people to make use of. The
gross tonnage of all kinds of water tower in our school is about
300 tons. Because there is a dry season for over five months
from December to next year’s April every year in Rui-feng, we have to prepare for the drought. To make our school
properly and correctly function with no fear of the coming
drought, we will wash the water tower regularly and frequently,
which could prevent the towers from being polluted by the silt
and mud.
In addition, there are lots of flush motors operating in our school.
These motors are designed to draw water from other water towers and
supply people’s requirements, when the water is insufficient.
Therefore, we could have water to utilize at anytime here in our
school, which stretches about 0.6 hectares. The water tube, which
provides water for our school, may easily be broken, because of the
four kilometers’ transporting. As soon as it is broken, we need to
inform parents to give us a help. Since most parents and their
children attend in our school, they mostly would help us to conserve
the source of water; for our school is the only educating center in
Rui-feng.
