So in this photo you can see the lavada that runs along the side of the mountain here in Chan di Igreja. Once every 2 or 4 days, they open a valve up on top of the mountain in Garza, and the water flows down through the lavada. Along the way, there are valve-like openings to let the water fall off into the cane fields or the tanks...for those people who have invested in such things. Anyway, you can see that the system works well for those that can afford it. The cane here is 8 or 10 feet tall in many places.
