Watering the gardens

Watering the gardens here are done in rather a curious and dare I saw "primitive" way.  In this photo you will see a cart which is being pulled by a senior lady.  The cart is full of water which she will have been filled with water from a nearby canal.  She pulls the cart to the pots or garden and then using the long handled pan will scoop the water out of the cart and then pour it onto the plants.  

Actually when you think about it, it is not a bad idea, but obviously labour intensive.  It does rain frequently here, although we have not rain for several weeks, but in reality most gardens are watered by rain, and this method is used for the many pots of plants around the college.
