Chapter 245 [All-Out Disaster Relief 1]

There are many strange regulations in India. For example, when the upper castes are short of water, they will get water from the source of the river or the lake. The lower class in India can only use the water in the well, although the Lagar Valley has not been affected by the flood.

But the originally clear lake has become turbid now, and there are some dead animals floating on it. Although it has been cleaned, burned and buried in time, can such water be drunk? The source of the river in the center of the valley is this small lake. The water in the lake cannot be drunk, but can the water in the river be drunk?

Although Indians are the most tolerant of pollution in the world, the total number of bacteria and viruses in these river waters is no longer what the human body can tolerate. Now, although there are lakes and rivers, everyone in the Lagar Valley is facing the problem of drinking water.

Fortunately, there are many civilians living in the Lagar Valley, and two large-scale deep wells have been dug decades ago. The location of the seepage well is just on the high ground on the other side of the valley, and it has been filtered through layers of rock and sand on the high ground.

Now the only safe water source is these two wells, and the water output of the wells is not bad. It can fully meet the needs of the entire valley, but for the sake of safety, Bell still repeatedly ordered that all drinking water must be boiled before drinking.

All tools and clothes soaked in sewage must be discarded, and any food soaked in river water is not allowed to be eaten. The villagers of Lagar 100% abide by the regulations set by Master Bell Singh. In fact, they are not fools, but they are just uneducated. Of course, they know what is clean and what is dirty.

The two wells now solve the water needs of the entire Lagar Valley. After two days, the heavy rain finally ended. Finally seeing the sun, Bell Singh knew that time was running out and took the lead in sending Jamal to put down the work in the town. He went all out to bring himself to Udaipur to buy various living supplies listed by Bell Singh.

The total investment amount exceeded 200,000 US dollars, of which a large part of the expenditure was to purchase a simple water source filtration system. There are also disinfectants for water source disinfection. The most left is a variety of food. After Jamal left with his men, Bell Singh organized the entire village of Lajia and everyone started dredging.

After the flood, all the viruses and bacteria remained in the taro mud washed by rainwater, which needed to be handled carefully. Now a huge pit was dug on the grass, and then the villagers were asked to wear masks and gloves, wear boots, and use their home carts to collect all the silt on the streets.

It was transported to the designated pit for landfill, and a layer of quicklime was sprinkled every 30 cm to kill all bacteria and viruses. All the inedible food and degradable things were piled into the biogas pool for fermentation.

In order to eliminate the trouble forever, Belsinger even organized a water ghost team to gather all the villagers who were good at swimming. With snorkeling tools and an iron rake in hand, they dived into the bottom of the lake or the bottom of the river, and ran up the silt settled at the bottom. After being washed by the river water, it slowly flowed downstream.

This can minimize the parasitism of bacteria in the silt at the bottom of the river. Of course, it is impossible to clean the entire lake and river. Try to do the best you can, that's all you can do. For three whole days, the entire Lagar Valley was extremely lively, with shouts of people and horses everywhere.

The entire valley was shrouded in smoke, which was caused by burning clothes. Although there was no river flooding the Lagar Valley, there was no flood, but it rained heavily for half a month, and the air was humid. The adobe house had begun to tilt and was even in danger of collapse, but because of the collapse of the bridge, the building materials outside could not be transported in.

Living in these dangerous houses, if the wall collapsed, men, women, and children would undoubtedly be spared, for the safety of the people in the village. Bel Singh funded everyone to receive a housing subsidy of five rupees a day, and rented the five rupees housing subsidy to the villagers who built brick and tile houses. In fact, everyone is an old neighbor for several generations, and even without these housing subsidies, they will still take in these villagers.

When the bridge is repaired, the building materials can be transported in, with Bel Singh contributing 40% and the villagers contributing 60%. The news of building cement brick houses was incredible, and everyone was very excited. Although the disaster had passed, the situation in the Lagar Valley was not only not low, but also getting higher and higher day by day. Everyone worked swiftly and even sang songs.

At night, Belsinger would kill pigs and sheep to let everyone who had worked hard all day have a good meal, and then have fun for a while. Only then would they go back to rest and sleep, and continue to work the next day. Although the villagers in the Lagar Valley were not affected, the crops planted on both sides of the river suffered.

After half a month of continuous rain, deep ditches caused by soil erosion were washed out in the farmland. If these deep ditches are not filled, the fertile farmland will cause serious soil erosion, and then it will become very barren soil. How can crops be planted?

So after organizing the entire valley and cleaning it up, Belsinger began to organize the villagers to take shovels and tools. All the deep ditches were filled up and the damaged stone embankments on both sides of the river were repaired. It was exhausting but the effect was quite good. The Lagar Valley was back on track.

Belsinger met with his uncle and father-in-law in Shah Village in his living room. Although they were well prepared, the damage was heavy. The water overflowed the outside of the village, and more than 300 households were affected. Now Shah Village can be said to be devastated, with more than 170 people dead.

Although the father-in-law's family has strong financial strength, due to road obstacles, there is no way to use money to buy the material things that the villagers live. Food, clothes, and water have all been soaked. Can we eat uncooked rice? As a last resort, he could only ask his little son-in-law for help.

Fortunately, the two newly built wells in the second village have a very large water output, which can fully support the water supply of Shah Village. In addition, the villagers placed all their belongings high in the house, so the loss of various daily necessities can be said to be negligible.

So Belsinger gathered everyone together and promised to use cash to buy daily necessities and prepare to transport them to his father-in-law. Let’s get over this disaster first. Although I lost some money, this is the responsibility of a junior.

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

In just six hours, all the livestock in the house that could pull the cart were mobilized to pull the water in the water tank. There were also all kinds of daily necessities, which were transported to Shah Village through the road that had not been washed out, which solved the urgent need, and finally calmed down the floating people in the whole village.
