This paper presents new experiences in the province of Andahuaylas, in the Andes of Peru, in a bid to help solve the problem of water supply in rural scattered areas. The central part of the document consists of a study that describes and analyzes the process by which 5 small areas in a scattered rural steeply sloping side of a mountain managed to acquire a sustainable water supply operated by gravity. The study includes 3 chapters. The first chapter examines the water issues in the communities, what solutions developed by the commoners to stock up on water, what are the drawbacks of the traditional system of their drinking water system. The second chapter describes technical aspects of the project, explaining how the technologies employed were the product of the physical and social environment. The third chapter describes the community participation during and after the project.
