With a stable water supply, villagers developed crop planting and wine-making industries, boosting household incomes across the board and building a thriving life. Yet as conditions improved, some villagers gave in to greed. Claiming the water source and land belonged to the collective, they refused to cover the basic electricity costs of the pumping station.
