(Baonghean.vn) - At the foot of Sat mountain (in hamlet 14, Khanh Son commune, Nam Dan), a high-quality underground water source called Khe Kep appeared, causing not only people in the area but also people from far away when passing through the 5 Nam region to stop and buy it for use...
 |
| Iron Mountain is located on the road to the 5 Nam communes.At the foot of Sat Mountain, Kep Stream underground water source has many minerals, so many people in the area collect it for drinking water. Currently, some families with gardens near the mountain have invested in building tanks right at the foot of the mountain to sell water. |
 |
| Khanh Son Commune also invested in underground water pipeline system and let local people bid for business (in photo: water business establishment of Mr. Nguyen Trong Linh - the winner of the water business bid). |
 |
| According to Nguyen Thi Ha (Mr. Linh's daughter), her family pays the commune 120 million VND/year. The price of water for people in the commune is 1,000 VND/20 liters; for people outside the commune, it ranges from 3 - 5,000 VND. Her family works from 5am to 11pm, every 3 hours they get 50 20-liter cans. |
 |
| Mr. Tran Trong in Nam Phuc commune is 5 km from Sat mountain but often comes to buy water for use. Although the price of water is much higher than that of people living in Khanh Son commune, Mr. Tran Trong is happy because, as he said, he can drink it without boiling. Moreover, Kep stream water is very delicious for making tea and wine. |
 |
| Many people from different regions prefer Khe Kep groundwater. |
 |
| Ms. Ha Thi Hop is originally from Khanh Son, now living in Truong Thi Ward, Vinh City. Ms. Hop said that every week when she visits her grandmother, she often buys water to bring back to Vinh for use. She said: "Keep stream water is of very high quality. I myself have taken samples to have them tested." |
 |
Usually each family only buys 2 20 liter cans, but some families even drive a truck carrying dozens of cans to buy. |
|
| According to Mr. Le Van Thoa (whose family has a garden near the foot of Sat Mountain), he cannot remember the time when people were forced to use Khe Kep underground water because "it has been like that since my grandfather's and father's generation". And Mr. Thoa said that in addition to the communal water business location for bidding, there are currently 3 more families doing business in Khe Kep water. Besides, there is a business producing purified water with raw water from Khe Kep. |
 |
| The water from Khe Kep underground stream looks crystal clear to the naked eye; it is very pleasant to drink directly and has a sweet taste. This water source is truly a precious resource; if there is a direction to exploit and create goods, this will also be a product of the land of talented people Nam Dan. |
