Description: Traditional irrigation uses gravity and hand-made constructions such as channels and ditches to distribute water from naturally-occurring water catchment points (such as springs, streams and glaciers) to the fields. Practitioners manually divert the water on specific days, and the beginning or end of the watering season is often accompanied by social gatherings and festivities. Transmitted informally, the practice has a specific vocabulary, and the knowledge and skills required (such as woodworking) can be applied to other aspects of the lives of bearers and communities.
