在达茫和沙加两地的水项目取得成功后，2013年该项目继续在贵南县切扎村开展，致力于解决当地的饮水问题。本次项目铺设的管道长达15公里，将饮用水输送到集中居住点，共惠及2100人。居住点与取水点的距离大大缩短，居民可以在离家更近的地方取水，节省的时间使得当地的孩子（尤其是女生）有机会去上学；以往用轮胎内胎或汽油桶等储水的状况得以改变，使得水中不再有橡胶和汽油味，改善了饮用水质；当地居民也能够经常沐浴，极大改善了个人卫生状况；此外，牲畜无需到很远的水源地去饮水，减少了对草场的破坏和对水源地的污染。

After the great success of the water projects in Damang and Shajia, the water project of 2013 was conducted to solve the drinking water problem at Chetsa Community in Guinan County. Water was supplied via a fifteen-kilometer-long pipe to local residents, which significantly shortened the distance between local households and the nearest available water source. In total 2,100 Tibetans now have access to an adequate supply of water in the center of the community and are able to fetch water near their homes and dwelling sites. Local children, especially girls, have a greater chance to go to school due to reduction of the time required for them to fetch water. Water quality has also been improved since gasoline containers are no longer used to store water in the long distance of delivery any more. Local hygiene and sanitation has also improved as locals are now able to bathe more frequently. Further more, there is no need to drive livestock to distant water sources, thereby reduing damage to grassland and water sources.
