Water Works

The water management is a big deal, and so we get photos of all the elements so we can see it is all great - Lots of interesting things

The water gets captured in concrete gutters (canetta - shown in later photos)  or using a french chanel (below) - a trench with a perforated pipe that is then covered with stones

These help direct the water to catchbasins (these act a gathering points and slow the flow - large concrete box that the water falls into before it can flow out again) - sometimes through underground pipes.

All to get the water away from the house or the road and to where it is supposed to be - the river in the ravine behind the house.
