However, now, due to the increasingly polluted water source, people in the village have to go up the mountain themselves to bring clean water from streams to their homes for use. Photo: Huyen Trang |

| Once they have found a clear and cool stream, people look for a suitable location to start blocking the stream to create a water channel. Mr. Luong Van Tinh in Cao Veu 1 village, Phuc Son commune has been using this natural water source for the past 3 years, because according to him, the water flowing from the mountain is clean, and only needs to spend about 3 million to buy a water pipe to have clean water for both daily life and raising livestock, and irrigating crops, while drilling a well costs 10-12 million and the water source is sometimes not guaranteed.

Usually, 2 to 3 houses share a system, and those with better conditions install their own water pipes. From the streams and creeks in the forest, water is brought to the village for people to use freely. Photo: Huyen Trang |
