it got its water from the "chain pump." the chain pump was a system that had two big wheels, one above another, and they were connected together by a chain. the chain has buckets on it, which dip into a small pool of water and go up the chain to a higher elevated pool. the buckets topple over into the elevated pool and dump the water into the pool, then the empty buckets go down the chain to be refilled. the plants are then watered by sections with the chain pump.
