There is a spring several hundred feet up the mountains, and my neighbor (Nas Palas) sticks a hose in it during the dry season to bring water down to our houses. We use that hose for irrigation when no one is doing dishes or laundry or cooking- normally that's his field full of cabbages, but sometimes that's me watering the greenhouse. It's kindof funny, because the change in height creates enough static head in the hose that it looks and feels just like a garden hose back home. :]
