After a while, the French discovered a source of sweet, clean underground water with abundant reserves in the Thien Nhan mountain range. After that, they built a water supply system to the military base. Since then, they have started using the water source here as daily drinking water. Over a long period of time until today, this water source is still used by local people and neighboring areas as a habit to improve the health of themselves and their families.
