The high altitude in the area is not suitable for human habitation. the Hoh Xil Reserve has inconvenient transportation and no water supply. People living there have to go to miles away to obtain water. The intention of this design is to obtain water in a cheap way in the desert area, reduce high-intensity physical labor, and introduce scientific analysis methods to achieve the expected function.
