In the seventh part of the Rural 皇冠体育app series, 皇冠体育app Daily reporter D J Clark visits Shengxian village where a new water system has recently been put in place. Six years ago 皇冠体育app's ministry of water resources estimated 300 million rural residents did not have access to safe drinking water and set about creating a plan to put a tap in every home by 2020. In this small Guangdong village Clark discovers the benefits of treated drinking water in a community that used to have to walk two kilometres to fetch water that would not make them sick.
