Local residents at Tokha have set a precedent by preserving their cultural heritage as well as promoting the use of sustainable water resources. Residents, none of whom have running water at home, have consolidated their efforts to clean and maintain three stone water spouts that were constructed at least 150 years ago.

Since then, local residents agree that their initiatives have only had positive impacts.
