Above: Tidal waters flow into khazan (low-lying reclaimed) areas
through pois like this. Top right and alongside, two sluice-gates, one
where water is being released at Molebhat Manos in Talaulim, and
the other controlling the flow of water. Extreme right, the
intricacies of rustic engineering of the yesteryears. It is not known who
designed the earliest khazans and when, yet the Gavdda community
has continued constructing and maintaining khazans for as long as
Goan history has been recorded.
