(191122) -- YICHENG COUNTY, Nov. 22, 2019 (Xinhua) -- Aerial photo taken on July 4, 2019 shows rain water collecting facilities in Nanling Village of Yicheng County, north China's Shanxi Province. As the switch was pulled, water spurted out from 403 meters down under. Nanling Village's very first deep-water well went into service on an early winter morning. In the past, the village, spreading across the ravines of the Zhongtiao Mountains in northern China, had relied solely on mud pits to store its valuable drinking water for at least a century. Haunted by the fear of drought, generations had dreamt of direct access to drinking water but only ended up digging pits on dry grounds, craving for rain and snow water. There was even a saying about the scarcity of drinking water: "In Nanling, water is as dear as cooking oil." With the new well, the village's 786 residents no longer have to live at the mercy of Nature, as their ancestors had done. The preciousness of water in Nanling is highlighted by the fragility of local water security. There was a time when large storage jars were a necessity for every household in the village. Whenever it rained or snowed, the villagers would collect water dripping from the eaves with every container they could manage, and then transfer the garnered water to the jars or pits. On occasions of drought, unfortunately, the only way to get water was by travelling a long distance to the mountain streams. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, experts had asserted that there hardly existed enough underground water in Nanling, given the village's geology. Despite that, the struggle for water went on. In 2017, dire water shortage here prompted a discussion on drilling a deep-water well. The whole village responded with active support and donations, hoping the well could solve their water problems once and for all. By the end of 2018, the village had raised 350, 000 yuan (about 50, 000 U.S. dollars) to fund the long-awaited well. After paperwo
