The houses in Kampung Naga are built on a raised platform in a linear arrangement. This level difference forms a gutter that is bounded by river stones, creating storm -water drainage channels.
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.
