Hilly County In East China Province Builds Small Power Stations Self-Reliantly. People in Yungchun County, Fukien province, followed the principle of using simple equipment and local materials in the course of building rural hydro-electric power station. By using timber to make a 128-metre-long pressure pipe (as shown in the picture) for a power station, the Penghu Commune has saved for the state a large quantity of steel and more than 10,000 yuan. The wooden pipe has been in perfect condition since it was put into operation 10 years ago.
