Chapter 21: Thoughts

The heavy rain comes and goes quickly, but after this heavy rain, the rainy season of TSNY is officially here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The loss is a bit heavy!"

Looking at the farmland that has receded from the stagnant water, Zhang Chuan was a little worried, he only came back yesterday afternoon, when the stagnant water in the farm had basically been drained, but because the stagnant water had stayed for a long time before, there were traces of being soaked everywhere in the farm.

"Well, before you come back, we counted that this time it rained, a total of more than 60 acres of land in the farm were affected, of which more than 30 acres were flooded for more than ten hours, and it is estimated that the impact will be greater. ”

Lin Quan's mood is not very good, although under his command, the impact of the heavy rain on the farm has been reduced to the lowest point, but this rain came to Taiji, there was no preparation in advance, so the loss will not be less, the farmland that has been soaked in water for a short time is also fine, and the crops are not affected much, but those crops that have been flooded by the top are not easy to say, the long-term soaking and the washing of flowing water have shaken their foundations, and at this time, the energy stored when they germinated before is about to run out, and it is really hard to say whether this batch of seedlings can survive。

Even if these seedlings survive, their growth will be greatly affected, which is like a person who has a serious illness when he is young, and the root of the disease falls from a young age, which will affect his future growth.

"Forget it, the time is still in time, it's a big deal to push it and replant, anyway, it's almost the same all year round here, unlike the domestic season when it's too late, and it's only a little time lost here, and the impact is not very big. ”

Zhang Chuan sighed, although he comforted Lin Quan and said that the impact was not great, but in fact the impact was still very large, because if he replanted, it would be a waste of his time, and he would have to pay a cost in the process of planting, which would invisibly affect the final income.

"By the way, what's going on with the cabbage?"

Chinese cabbage is the best promising batch of plants in this batch of crops, if the Chinese cabbage is not greatly affected, then you can also use the income of the Chinese cabbage to recover some losses, if the Chinese cabbage is also affected, it is really hurtful.

"The Chinese cabbage is okay, because the terrain is relatively high, so it has not been greatly affected, only a small part of the Chinese cabbage has been flooded, but it is not serious, it should not have much impact. ”

Zhang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he didn't plant all the Chinese cabbage at the beginning, only half of the Chinese cabbage was planted, but he didn't expect this half of the Chinese cabbage to escape a catastrophe, could it be said that he had the foresight and foreknowledge to avoid this catastrophe?

"That's good, but this rainstorm also gave us a reminder, that is, the drainage system of the farm is not very perfect, the rainy season in Africa lasts a lot, although there will not be many heavy rainstorms like this, but we must also prepare in advance, I am ready to start improving the drainage facilities of the farm, what do you think?"

Lin Quan thought for a while, Zhang Chuan's idea was good, but he didn't just think about drainage, Africa is divided into rainy season and dry season, the rainy season is very long, and the dry season is not short, the farm will face floods in the rainy season, but it will face the threat of drought in the dry season, in this case, why not directly establish a system to collect the rainwater in the rainy season, and then let the rainwater be able to irrigate the farm during the dry season, so as not to lack water on the farm.

In fact, although the rainfall in Africa is very large, it stands to reason that there should not be a shortage of water, but the actual situation is not the case, because the dry season in Africa is very long, and the temperature is very high, so the water on the surface of the plains will evaporate quickly, so there will be a shortage of water in many places, and the infrastructure in Africa is very poor, and many people can see a lot of reservoirs in rural areas of China. Reservoirs and other water storage infrastructure, in fact, these are mainly in 1956 after the establishment of rural cooperatives to mobilize the masses to build, sometimes concentrate on doing big things this kind of thing sounds very disgusting, such as rural cooperatives, everyone's interests will be harmed, so everyone is disgusted with it, even if they know that the grain production will be hungry, but in the cooperatives, everyone is reluctant to actively produce, because the production of things is not their own, so hungry is everyone hungry together, but to exert efforts, everyone will be lazy, the situation of the cooperatives will get worse and worse。

After the end of the cooperative, everyone sees, no one cares about the reservoirs and ponds in the countryside, who still has the strength to mobilize so many people to work hard to repair the reservoir, no one is willing, the result is that the soil erosion in the countryside is very serious, a large amount of silt has been washed into the rivers, streams and ponds, and then the rivers and ponds in the countryside have gradually dried up, this is not an isolated phenomenon, this is a common phenomenon in the countryside.

But now the local government is starting to build new villages, and the old infrastructure is being renewed.

However, in Africa, there is no infrastructure at all, and Africa has abundant water sources, so people don't have to dig pools to store water, so except for some natural lakes and streams, it is difficult to see ponds in Africa.

Take Lin Quan's farm as an example, their farm is next to a small stream, this river does not have a large flow of water, but it has to shoulder the drinking water of thousands of people in Tamar Town, fortunately there is no factory here, otherwise the water of this small stream is absolutely not enough.

And in the rainy season, the flow of water in this creek will skyrocket, but everyone is not short of water, and once it is in the dry season, especially after the dry season lasts for a long time, this creek will gradually dry up because it cannot get fresh water sources, although it will not stop flowing, but the situation is not optimistic, when it comes to the dry season, many people have to run farther to fetch water, and some people simply dig a well at home and eat the water in the well.

And ordinary residents can do this, because their water consumption is not very large, but Lin Quan's farm is not good, a hundred acres of farms, said big is not big, but small is not small, no matter how to say a day, at least a dozen tons of water will be consumed, if it is not for the use of advanced drip irrigation facilities, this consumption will be higher.

And even if it is a dozen tons of consumption, the well alone is not enough, the water of the well is actually the groundwater table, although it is inexhaustible, but this thing comes from the water is relatively slow, and the groundwater is not suitable for irrigating crops, it is better to use surface water.

And after this experience, Lin Quan was thinking, since the water in the rainy season is not exhausted, why not dig a reservoir and store the water?
