Water and living landscapes

Observe irrigation and cultivation from agreed paths. Around the reservoir, use permitted viewpoints and keep away from dam infrastructure. Photographs document a moment; they do not guarantee water levels.

Make the local contribution clear

Ask who hosts an activity, how they are paid and what the fee includes. Avoid entering gardens or using village resources without agreement. Small groups and unhurried visits can make conversations easier.
