Circulating Rainwater: Multi-Party Rural Land- scape Creation to Turn Disasters into Benefits

In 2023, with support from the Fund, a team from Beijing Jiaotong University collaborated with local villagers and craftsmen in Zhoushan Village, Dengfeng City, Henan Province. Together, they built an innovative rainwater recycling landscape that can store up to 24 m3 of water. The project demonstrates how sustainable construction methods can address water storage and usage challenges in rural areas, offering fresh perspectives on rural water resource management. How did this collaborative project come together, and what makes it work? Let's dive into the details shared by the student team.
