Agricultural land thirsts for clean water
As the shortage of clean water for irrigation has become serious, local authorities are trying every possible way to bring clean water to fields. To produce clean rice, vegetables and fruits, farmers need safe land which is not infected with heavy metals and with toxic chemical residue. They also need safe water for irrigation. However, in many localities, it is a luxury. There is no clean water for people and cattle, let alone clean water for irrigation. Meanwhile, building large-scale intensive farming areas and high-technology agricultural production areas which can satisfy food safety international standards is one of the major points of a government-initiated program on restructuring agriculture. The government also wants to minimize the adverse effects on the environment caused by overexploitation and unreasonable use of resources for agriculture, forestry and fishery production.
