Depending on the area, the object that each member of the cooperative is supported to varying degrees. The goal of the project is to help people adapt to climate change. Each watering model saves not only the cost-effective use of water resources, but also helps people raise awareness in the protection of water, land and air resources; It also helps people adapt to climate change and increase the value of agricultural products.

Therefore, investing in irrigation systems, or drip irrigation systems in agriculture, is not just a command from the right policy of the leader, but also a command of the heart to share. Difficult to farmer, cherish and accountable to the people.
