A system to extract the spring water by creating a hole against the hill wall and channeling the water with pipes to the platform underneath. The spring water is a result of water infiltration through the pristine ‘forbidden’ forest and filtered by its roots. The people of Kampung Naga use it as a source for drinking water.
Water harvesting mud embankments restrain natural streams of stormwater runoff in its upper reaches and direct it for storage in hauz (lake) and baoli (stepwell).

The waterways flow the river water into the main irrigation channel leading to Kampung Naga. It utilizes piles of alluvial rocks that can be adjusted according to the seasonal change of the river water discharge. The people in Kampung Naga maintain this system manually as part of community activities to maintain social bonds.

Period: Regulated based on seasons
Form: Line
Use or Function : Regulate water discharge from the river
Successively receding platforms, which were a result from cutting a piece of sloped plane to resemble steps, bordered by a small embankment to grow rice crops which need a flooded area to be grown. Bamboo pipes connect the field parcels and distribute the water.
Water tanks which harvest rainwater and stormwater during monsoon season. Main function of the hauz was to collect rainwater over a large expanse of land.
