Photographer’s comment: “Water flows from a small dam, rotating the wheel, activating the rice pounder. Farmers are using waterwheels to put an added value on the rice. People are managing water catchments through traditional forest management called parak or palak, a traditional agroforestry model. Farmers have their own way to protect the area through a clear delimitation between farming land, farm management and development of canopy structure.“
