Running Water Project for Bon-skor Tibetan Village, Guinan County, Qinghai Province, PR China Authors: Nangchukja & Kevin Stuart Date of Report: 2008 Location: Bon skor Tibetan Village, Bya mdo Township, Mangra (Guinan) County, Mtsho lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. PR China. Subject: Running Water for a Rural Tibetan Community Funder: German Embassy Details: This running water benefited 457 villagers in the Bon-skor Tibetan Community with a contribution of 80,000RMB from the German Embassy plus, 121,738.50 RMB from the local community. This project is very significant because a source of clean water is closer to local homes, the time spent on collecting water has been reduced, women and girls have more time to do other things, children have more time to study because the time spent on fetching water has been greatly reduced, there is no longer bickering over whose turn it is to get water as was the case with the former water source that had many people waiting in line for water, conflict has also been reduced by disagreements caused by livestock traveling over pasturelands to water sources, and environmental degradation has been reduced by fewer livestock making paths through grassland on the long trek to the former water source.
