The team started the practical work on them first the sources were collected in one specific area and then it was carried to the main storage. The length of the fountains and storage is more than one and a half kilometers.
The storage was built in fundamental shape according to the norms and has a capacity of 84000 liters. The stored water is distributed amongst different villages and by establishing eight stand taps the residents have direct access to clean water.
