Irrigation canal from nearby stream in Kaagbeni village, Nepal

Flowing water from a nearby stream is channeled into a small canal to irrigate the terraced fields in Kaagbeni, Nepal.It rarely rains in this region and therefore nearby streams and rivers -- fed by snow melting in the mountains -- provide the only source of water for both irrigation and household use.
