Irrigation at Fano
For thousands of years people at Fano have maintained the fresh water stream and cheerfully diverted it into irrigation canals. This meticulous art deeply understands water and its potential. There is some unspoken lore which in the act of diverting water always leaves a substantial flow for neighbors downstream. When this delicate balance is observed everyone flourishes.
The understanding of the role of vegetation in preserving the flow and purity of water is crucial. Watercress, mint and cane play important roles in maintaining this balance. The keepers of the creek concisely harvest and encourage those plants.
Sloobdan Dan Paich engaged directly with the Fano Canal keepers and learned the irrigational craft from them. This became a basis in designing a little lake in Fano.
