The prolonged drought that occurred in Peru between 1983 and 1984 led the farmers of Mollepata to rehabilitate an ancient irrigation canal. This effort was significant for the community and its ancient techniques. The Apu Salkantay is appeased and provides the runa with the necessary inspiration to achieve their goal and make the water flow again.
