Book draws out Brazil's clean water project

Using made-in-China products, the project includes a smart water supply system equipped with containerized bitter and salty water desalination equipment.

It applies membrane reverse osmosis technology to purify groundwater.

On Dec 31, 2022, access to safe drinking water became a reality and people could turn on the taps at certain points in their community with clean water flowing for daily use.

In February last year, the project was officially handed over to the Rio Grande do Norte state government with local technical personnel trained by the State Grid in advance.

The project is undertaken in response to the Belt and Road Initiative, adhering to the concept of energy saving, environmental protection, innovation and smart integration.

"When I got there and talked with the people, I realized how difficult their life was due to the lack of access to safe water. The water issue had threatened the health and development of local communities for a long time," Jin says, adding that she felt how welcoming the locals were to Chinese people.

"It is the true and heartwarming friendship that has been naturally built between the people from China and Brazil, which touches my heart," she says, adding that the emotional bonds she felt are also what she tries to convey in her stories.
