The watering system is truly a blessing but we did freak out a bit during the week they switched the canal off! Easy to become reliant on a system. Less easy to find alternatives. Rainwater collection is on the list for next year. Just in case these canal cuts become more regular!

ah fuck, so it is based on humans and probably the normal water system..
one would need such canals coming off a little stream/ creek.
Technically that's exactly what it is, coming from a river which runs constantly from the glacier in the mountain but the 'authorities' still have the power to switch it off. On this occasion they said they did it because the wildlife wasn't getting enough water further downstream. Apparently this is more important than the agriculture which relies on the canals. Go figure.
