There is a flower fishing ditch behind Ciba Jade City, Panlong District, and several streams of mountain spring water flow out from the mountain. Many middle-aged and elderly people climbed the mountain and lined up to get water and carried it home to drink. Yesterday morning, the weather was clear, and people were coming up the mountain and carrying water. The middle-aged and elderly people accounted for the majority, carrying carts on their shoulders, carrying carts, and pushing carts in various ways.
Citizens lined up to pick up water

shoulder carrying and car pushing with a car. Various ways are
At around 10 o'clock yesterday morning, there were endless people going to carry the water in the Huayugou, the back mountain of Ciba Jade City, Panlong District. It had just rained, and the road entering the mountain was muddy and slippery, and the ground was covered with red soil. The road entering the mountain can only be accessed by one vehicle and has a certain slope. I saw people carrying water in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, walking down the mountain along the road. Everyone's trousers and shoes were more or less stained with red soil. Most of the people who are in their backs are middle-aged and elderly people, some in their 50s, some in their 60s, and a small number in their 70s.
The bottles used by everyone to get water range from 5 to 18 liters. Most people put the bottles in their schoolbags and carry them on their backs. Some men use shoulder poles to carry the bottles used on two water dispensers. Some people carry the water bottles on their shoulders. Some people choose to put the bottles on the shopping cart and pull them up and down the mountain. When they are tired, they take a rest on the side of the road.
At the entrance of the mountain road, an old couple from the northeast pulled a cart home. The couple lived near Jade City and was the first time they came here to get water. "We also heard that there are springs on the mountain, so we went there," said his wife. Half of my husband's legs were covered with mud - when he went down the mountain, the road was slippery and he accidentally fell.
Driving along the mountain road, the car can only reach the reservoir at the foot of the mountain. A miniature car and four or five electric vehicles driven by water intakers are parked next to the reservoir.
There is a reservoir next to the reservoir, and a faucet is installed. An old man with a backpack said that he could use water to collect water directly here before, but this year the water pipe has broken down and he can only go to the mountain to collect water.

House people get water from the mountain and in the valleys
From the reservoir to the water intake, the road becomes a path that can only be accessed by one person, and can only climb up.
Mr. Xia, 65 years old this year, took bus No. 128 alone and came here to get water from his home in Harmony Century Community. "The water you get home is usually not drunk directly. You will filter it with gauze first, and then use it to cook vegetables, rice and tea. It can be used for one week at a time," said Mr. Xia.
Mr. Xia started to go to Huayugou to get water a month ago. Sometimes his wife would be with her, and she would take her grandchildren with her on weekends and travel around the mountains and rivers.
Walk up the mountain road, and there are two places to fetch water, one is located on the mountainside and the other is in the valley. "Everyone said that the water on the hillside is better. If you have good legs and feet, go up." Mr. Xia said.
Mr. Xia chose to walk on the hillside, while some people walked into the valley.
The path only allows one person to pass through. Someone uses a cart to pull water

The intaker said "there are minerals in the water"
The water intake on the mountainside is closed, and a white PC tube is inserted into the mountain. The water flows out of the pipe. A piece of gauze is covered at the mouth of the pipe to filter the spring water.
Four or five people are waiting in line to get water. Mr. Deng, who lives in the city of Fenglin, brought two 18-liter drinking bottles to collect water and took it home by shoulder lifting. "Fill the water, the two bottles have a total of 40 kilograms." Mr. Deng said.
Mr. Deng, 68 years old this year, has been drinking mountain spring water for more than two years. He comes to Huayugou to get water every week. Speaking of the reasons for taking water, Mr. Deng said: Everyone says that mountain spring water contains minerals, which is relatively healthy, and it is free to collect water. Climbing can also exercise the body and the air is fresh.
Mr. Deng said that even if it rains, someone will come to get water in the rain. "There are people coming every day, and there are more weekends. I'm afraid there are hundreds of people. It's the most crowded at 8 o'clock in the morning and it takes a long queue."
"It is a closed source of water, not exposed to the air, and will not contact microorganisms , lees, etc. The most fear is that there are lees in the water. This is closed and safe." Mr. Yu, who lives in a community near Yuqi City, said that he would go up the mountain to collect water when he had time.
After taking the water, carrying a load to walk down the steep hillside. Some people will use crutches to go down the mountain.
Ciba Street Office staff member Ms. Li said that citizens have been drinking spring water for many years after going to the back mountain of Yuqi City. "Because there are many people entering the mountain, the village group funded the village group to build a reservoir next to the mountain's foot reservoir for water collection. Since the beginning of this year, the water pipes have broken down, so everyone went to the mountains to collect water." Ms. Li said.

Doctor: Whether it contains minerals needs to be tested
In response to this situation, an orthopedic doctor said that appropriate exercise is beneficial to the elderly, but because the elderly’s knee joint can bear less pressure, it is not recommended that the elderly do mountain climbing or stair climbing exercises. Climbing a mountain or stairs will cause the pressure on the knee joint to be as high as 6 times the weight of the body. That is to say, the knee originally only weighs 60 kilograms, but the pressure on climbing and climbing will reach 360 kilograms. Not only will it not achieve the fitness effect, it will cause serious damage to the knee joint, causing joint muscle pain and a series of adverse reactions. If you carry a load again, it will increase the burden on your joints.
Gaster physicians also recommend not drinking raw water as it is necessary to drink raw water. Drinking raw water can easily lead to symptoms such as diarrhea. After taking the water home, it is recommended to boil the water before drinking it. "Whether the water contains minerals and microorganisms, it will take an authoritative agency to test it before it can be concluded," the doctor said.

Xishan Mountain Spring Water Detection Total coliforms
Kunming Xishan Scenic Area is Kunming's favorite place to play and exercise. There is also a very special scenery here - two bends along the way of climbing, and mountain springs flow down the willow tree. "Sweet, it's better than tap water, and it's cold and very comfortable to drink." Kunming people say so. For decades, it has become a traditional project for many Kunming people to come here to drink some mountain spring water.
However, is this mountain spring water really as clear and clean as it looks? In May 2018, the reporter took two water samples in Erdaowan and Liushuqing, where citizens often consumed water and drank, and then sent them to Kunming Center for Disease Control and Prevention for testing. The test results are: the total number of bacteria, total coliform bacteria, and Escherichia coli have seriously exceeded the standard, so it is not recommended to drink it directly!

From the test report, it can be seen that the total number of colonies of
colonies is 150, the standard is ≤100; the total coliform bacteria detection result of
total coliform bacteria detection result is >200.5, the standard is "not to be detected"; the test result of
Escherichia coliforms 3.1, the standard is "not to be detected". The test results of
do not meet the drinking water standards.
Boil the mountain spring water and drink it. Be wary of risks.
According to the National "Sanitation Code for Drinking Water", drinking water detection indicators include chromaticity, turbidity, odor, pH value, oxygen consumption, iron content, manganese content, total hardness, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, nitrate nitrogen, arsenic, total coliform population, and whether it contains parasites. These indicators cannot be judged based on appearance and taste alone.
Currently, only commercially mined mountain spring water has been tested, and the drinking safety of other mountain spring water is not guaranteed at all.
So, can you drink it after boiling the mountain spring water?
After the total coliform population was detected in Xishan Mountain Spring Water, Kunming Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that boiling water can only kill the microorganisms in the water, and cannot be filtered and removed for some toxic and harmful substances, such as heavy metals or radioactive substances.
At the same time, according to relevant experts, most of the water flowing out from the spring is not actually considered real spring water, but shallow groundwater, which is the mountain stream water that flows out from the cracks of the rock after surface water seeps into the soil. Drinking this untreated mountain spring water is often beyond imagination.
For example, a woman in Dongguan, Guangdong had an operation to remove a milky white long worm with a length of 8 cm and a diameter of 3 mm from the left leg mass. After identification, it was found to be Man's schizoli. The doctor diagnosed that the cause was related to the patient's usual preference for drinking spring water.
There may also be certain risks when washing your face with mountain spring water. For example, someone once washed his face with mountain spring water, and the leech larvae in the spring water took the opportunity to enter the human nasal cavity, causing the patient to have repeated nosebleeds for half a month. After going to the hospital for examination, he took out 2.5 cm long leech from the patient's nasal cavity.
Do you think this kind of mountain spring water can be drunk?
