The seguias — ancestral irrigation
On the afternoon walk through the fields and terraced gardens, your host explains the seguias — the hand-dug channels that have carried mountain water to every plot for generations.
- How snowmelt from the High Atlas is captured and guided down to the village terraces.
- The turn-taking system that shares water fairly between families, hour by hour.
- How the channels are maintained together each season, as a village.
- Why this water shapes what grows here — walnut, apple, peach and apricot orchards.
