Ninh Thuan residents have long been proud of their 500 year old wells which can still provide fresh and clean water for local people, despite the effects of climate change and drought over the years.

The system of the ancient wells of Champa is one of the most unique cultural values that the Cham people still preserve today.

The ancient wells are also used for irrigation systems to help water the rice paddy fields.

Today, Cham people no longer use wells for most of their daily life activities, yet it remains one of the most sacred inventions of all time for Cham people. -VNA
