Waste plastic bottles have new uses

Waste plastic bottles have new uses in addition to selling waste products. A few days ago, the reporter saw in the tea garden behind the village of Xiaotun Village, a delightful town in Laoshan District, Rizhao City, that hundreds of “sprayers” made of waste plastic bottles were busy running to irrigate tea trees.

Xiaotun Village has a high topography and farmland irrigation has always restricted the development of the local agricultural economy. Since last year, the village has seized the opportunity of the town to deepen the reform of the property rights system of small-scale rural water conservancy projects, attracted 265,000 yuan of social funds to invest in irrigation and water conservancy construction, and created a unique "ring-shaped water network" for water-saving irrigation according to local conditions. The new model, and clever use of the topography, built seven water storage ponds around the village to collect the rainwater that had fallen from high places. In the high-lying areas, a unified plan was made to establish well-proportioned large wells, and the agricultural water for the dry season was used. They are supplemented and then used a main pipe to connect these dams with large wells and form a full-covered closed water network around the whole village. When the weather is dry, the villagers want to pour the land, as long as the water pipe is connected to the interface of the “ring water network” and the waste plastic bottle with a pinhole is used for “spray-type” irrigation, saving water, low-carbon, and environmental protection. convenient. “Circular water network” enables effective irrigation of 800 acres of ridge land in the village.
