A Village That Fights Fire With Water

Wengding is located in a region with long dry seasons and a high risk of wildfires. Instead of separate systems, the village uses one network of sprinklers for both fire prevention and agriculture. When fire danger rises, the system wets roofs and surrounding land to create a moisture barrier that slows flames. When risk is low, the same setup irrigates crops and supports vegetation. It is a simple, low tech solution adapted perfectly to local conditions.
