In many places in the world, water is unclean b/c people take out the ecosystem that cleans it. Thus, the rivers only flow after rains and then go dry. When they do flow, they are filled with silt and all kinds of effluent. When people reserve the forests in the mountain highlands, they can go up into the forest and tap springs for fresh water.

The network of spring taps of which this is a part provides the Chacon families + some 13000 annual guests to their farms and ecotourist-oriented
