Careo ditch
El careo is the system of Muslim origin by which farmers guide water from snow-capped mountains to aquifer recharge areas. When the heat begins, through a system of ditches they transport the melt water so that it infiltrates into the aquifers and appears in the rivers and fountains after two or three months, in the middle of summer when it is most needed for irrigation._11100000 -0000-0000-0000-000000000111_
