There is a public water system in Cazale that was established when a natural spring was capped.

Then, it was diverted into pipes that carry the water downhill/downstream. The pipes are supported by existing rocks/boulders/hillside and manmade pillars. Falling rocks, mudslides, and flooding are all risks that constantly plague this system, but it’s what the village has so they make it work.

The pipes carry the water to a large water reservoir. Here, a storage of water is collected and sent down. The village is in need of more water, but the existing pipes can only carry so much. The excess water spills out of this pipe and back into the river.

Then, the water is piped downhill by gravity along the river and road through the village. In past years when the system was running well, it supplied even more villlages down the road. These are a few of the different ways people in Cazale get their drinking water.
