The morning was a bit cold, but Li Yanbo quickly got out of his warm bed when it was 7∶30．He picked up two plastic buckets(塑料桶)and rushed to the center of the village, where a fire truck arrives once a day to provide water for them．
Li, a 24-year-old farmer, lives in Liguan village, Songming－about 60km away from Kunming．For the last three months, he has risen early to meet the fire truck because the village's only reservoir(水庫(kù))has dried up．Rain hasn't fallen for six months．
The queue is very long by the time Li arrives．About 4,000 thirsty villagers come with their empty buckets and stand behind the truck．
“My family gets two or three buckets of water every day．We use them for drinking, washing and cooking,”said Li．“If we save a little every day, then once a week we can have a short bath．”
Li planted two mu of broad beans(蠶豆)last autumn, but he has earned nothing because of the drought(干旱)．As usual, he would plant rice after getting in the beans．But the field is so dry that he can't even plough(耕田)it．
“The rice is food for my family－my parents and younger brother．We have no more money to buy rice from the market,”said Li．
Like most people in his village, growing tobacco(煙草)provides the family's meal ticket．Usually, Li's three mu of tobacco earns him near 10,000 yuan．But now…Luckily, local governments are trying to help families like Li's by hunting for new water resources(資源)．
How important it is to save water!Li says“It has taught me that, if we use water correctly, two buckets a day should be enough for four family members．We can recycle(循環(huán)利用)the water for many different uses,”said Li．“Every drop of water is worth a lot of money．I hope people realize this．”
