DONGXIANG, Gansu - Until secondary school, all Ma Qiang knew about tap water was from television and books.
It seemed quite a wonder compared to the village well that collected rain and a donkey that hauled water up from the river.
"Villagers cherished water even more than oil," said Ma, 28, who grew up in rugged Dongxiang county in Northwest China's Gansu province.
