Thanks to the Tibetan Development Assistance Trust for providing 86,468.8 RMB. This, plus the local contribution of 96,077.40 RMB, created an crop irrigation project valued at182,746.20 RMB that benefited 400 local Tibetans (49 households) by building a new irrigation system with concrete-stone ditches and metal pipes crossing ravines and valleys. Jianke villager, Daji (b.1968), said, "Before the new irrigation system we spent much time repairing the system. The new system will need very little repair. The water supplied by the new system is enough so that we can water the fields quickly. Our yields will surely increase and we will spend less money buying food. The new system solved the soil erosion caused by the water breaking through the old, earthen-ditch system. Conflict between villagers over water will disappear. This project is also good for village unity."
