August 8 2007: Wetland sanitation VS horse riding

 

        
  In recent years, because of the sharp increase of tourists in the
wetland of Lashihai, the wetland dwellers began to leave their farm
fields to solicit tourists with the service of horse riding. They
spend all day long with their customers and got less time to take
care of their biogas facilities in the houses. Consequently, offers
from Yulong County Energy Station and YEN officers saw problems on
many of the biogas facilities during their visit. And both the
wetland and the village sanitation need improvement urgently.


  

  Poor management of an anaerobic digester in one farmer's courtyard


  A rusty biogas cooking stove in a fermer's kitchen


  Horse riding develops very quickly in the wetland
