year. How do people survive there The secret is the ancient karez system.The karez
system includes over 1,000 wells and 5,000 km of underground canals. Wells appear every 20-30 metres, and some are 100 metres deep. Water from mountains falls into the wells
and runs through the underground canals. This keeps the water cool and safe from the hot desert sun.Amazingly, the karez system was built with only hand tools centuries ago. It’s among the top three projects of ancient China. Thanks to this system, people can grow
food and live in the difficult environment.Today, Turpan faces a water shortage. There is less water from mountains and more water use. But the karez system still plays an
important role. Young people are taking action to protect it. This centuries-old system will be carried into the future.
