Description of Our Community: The Rui-feng lies in the Mei-shan village, Chiayi country. The elevation above the sea level of it is dropping from 1309-450 meters. And it belongs to the mountain range of Alishan. The average annual temperature of it is 20 degrees centigrade, and the climate here is very pleasing. The main farm production of Rui-feng is high mountain tea. Because there is no running water system, our main source of people’s livelihood water and agricultural irrigating come from mountain springs. Because the terrain here belongs to the mountain section, many wild streams originate from Rui-feng village, which is the upper stream of the Qing-shui river, a series of Zhuo-shui river. In recent years, water resource reduces day by day, since there are more and more crop growing, the growth of tourist industry, and constantly occurrence of natural calamity.
Project Description: Environmental awwrenessThe “mountain springs” play a very imperative role in Rui-feng community. For it maintains the operation and improvement of the neighborhood. Besides we have dry season for over five months every year. During these harsh days, every household has no water to use; when the torrential rain or typhoon comes, water resource then become the fierce target which destroy the roads of agricultural lands. The functions of the water resource include: the ecological guiding and planning, irrigation of the community’s property, livelihood demand of people, and the great calamity and problem occurred after the water overflowing… etc. We set up several topics, including “gold,” “wood,” “water,” “the fire,” “the soil,” as our major five issues to separately talk about these topics about tea garden, forests, people’s livelihood water, ecology, and water and soil maintenance. .
