irrigation system in the valley of Gindah (Eritrea). The area
situated between the arid coast and the highland receives the

The
fruitful fields are arranged in small garden parcels called jenna
which means "garden" and "paradise". The geometrical shape of
the cultivations corresponds to the order which underlies the
