Province, China, stands out as an especially inspiring example. On the Loess Plateau, Tzu Chi volunteers witnessed firsthand how the newly built cisterns enabled rural residents to store water more effectively, significantly improving their quality of life. However, when rainfall sharply declined, water scarcity resurfaced in some assisted areas, prompting the foundation to support village relocation efforts. These initiatives highlight the vital link between water availability and community well-being.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-783e89f4 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"783e89f4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60a0f89f\" data-id=\"60a0f89f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7774f7d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7774f7d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Addressing water scarcity<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42945948 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"42945948\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cWithout water, people cannot live decent lives, no matter how hard they try,\u201d said Lin Jing Xiu (\u6797\u975c\u4fee) from the Tzu Chi Department of Charity Mission Development. Lin recounted that in the late 1990s, Wang Tuan-cheng (\u738b\u7aef\u6b63), then vice president of the Tzu Chi Foundation, led a team to Tongwei and Huining counties in the southeastern part of Gansu Province, located on the Loess Plateau, to assess drought conditions and their impact on local farmers. The scope of the assessment later expanded to include Dongxiang, Jingyuan, Yongjing, and Guanghe counties.<\/p><p>The Loess Plateau is one of the world\u2019s most severely eroded regions. Situated at an altitude of 1,000 to 3,000 meters (3,280 to 9,840 feet), it suffers from low rainfall and high evaporation, resulting in severe water scarcity. This scarcity hindered irrigation and forced residents to endure grueling journeys, often walking three to four hours, to fetch water for their daily needs.<\/p><p>Farming in this region was a constant gamble against nature. Farmers, uncertain about the timing and amount of rainfall, would still till the land and sow seeds, hoping for sufficient rain and a bountiful harvest. Most of the time, however, their efforts yielded just enough to scrape by\u2014or nothing at all. This inefficient farming further damaged the fragile vegetation, perpetuating a vicious cycle of land degradation and poverty. As a result, young and able-bodied individuals were forced to find work elsewhere. Many children were unable to continue their education, and those fortunate enough to attend school had to leave their homes and families to study at distant institutions.<\/p><p>Recognizing that extreme water scarcity was driving poverty, family separation, and other social problems, Tzu Chi decided to build durable, high-quality water cisterns and rainwater harvesting systems for residents. Volunteers consulted with a drought research institute at Lanzhou University to determine the most effective solutions. They ultimately decided to construct 30-cubic-meter (1,060-cubic-foot) spherical cement cisterns for households, paired with cement rainwater collection surfaces. The cement cisterns addressed the problems of traditional earthen cisterns, which were prone to leakage, collapse, and contamination.<\/p><p>Between 1998 and 2009, Tzu Chi constructed 19,060 water cisterns across six counties in Gansu Province, benefiting over 100,000 people. Although rainfall in the regions did not increase, the amount of water stored grew significantly. After just a few rainfalls, the 30-cubic-meter cisterns would be filled, providing enough water for daily use and even some for irrigating farmland. Remarkably, these cisterns also helped young locals start families.<\/p><p>Women in drought-stricken areas in these regions often had to shoulder the burden of fetching water, a backbreaking task that continued into old age. As a result, young women were generally unwilling to marry into these water-scarce rural areas. \u201cWhen we revisited the areas more than a decade later,\u201d Lin Jing Xiu recalled, \u201cthe children we had helped were now parents themselves. I asked one woman why she decided to marry a man from this area, and she said, \u2018Because his family has a water cistern!\u2019\u201d<\/p><p>Due to the improved living conditions brought about by Tzu Chi\u2019s cisterns, they\u2019ve become known locally as \u201cwealth cisterns\u201d and \u201chappiness cisterns.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-19464b3c elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"19464b3c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2776bede\" data-id=\"2776bede\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-229c0b02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"229c0b02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Village relocation<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54b54a5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54b54a5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Despite these efforts, climate change proved an overwhelming challenge. In areas like Ruoli Township in Jingyuan County, dwindling rainfall left many cisterns dry, forcing residents to resume their arduous water-collecting journeys.<\/p><p>To help, Tzu Chi partnered with the Gansu provincial government in 2008 to launch a village relocation initiative. The first relocation site was established in Liuchuan Township, also in Jingyuan County. Once a barren and sparsely populated area, Liuchuan was revitalized through government-built facilities that pumped water from the Yellow River for irrigation. This previously arid land was transformed into a thriving agricultural and livestock hub for Gansu Province, with convenient highway and railway access further solidifying its status as an ideal relocation site.<\/p><p>To ensure a smooth transition, Tzu Chi collaborated with local authorities to develop a well-rounded community. The new community provided not only housing but also education, employment opportunities, and agricultural resources to support sustainable livelihoods.<\/p><p>\u00a0In January 2011, the Laiyao Tzu Chi New Village was inaugurated, providing homes for over a thousand former Ruoli residents across 210 households. By November 2015, a second site, the Baita Tzu Chi New Village in Wuhe Township, was completed, offering a fresh start to 300 families from five townships: Dongsheng, Jing\u2019an, Shimen, Shuanglong, and Wuhe.<\/p><p>With access to irrigation from the Yellow River, life improved significantly for the residents. Freed from the burden of collecting water, they were able to focus on more productive endeavors. The relocation efforts also fostered ecological awareness, inspiring initiatives to restore the original land by converting farmland into forests. After residents vacated their homes on the Loess Plateau, reforestation teams moved in to rejuvenate the parched terrain, planting vegetation and installing drip irrigation systems to gradually transform the landscape into a verdant expanse.<\/p><p>For those using Tzu Chi-built cisterns and those who have begun new lives in the relocation villages, access to sufficient and clean water has been life-changing. It stands as a testament to the value of water and serves as a call to action against the growing challenges of climate
