Man-made irrigation ditches for watering the meadows and fields were called
“Waale” in the Ötztal Valley. Still today they are forming the Alpine landscape. Many
of these old water routes decayed as they require a lot of maintenance work, but a
few are still intact or have been reactivated successfully.
