Abundant water resources characterize this irrigation and grazing farm, featuring registered earth dams covering an area of 32 hectares with a current capacity of approximately 50,000 cubic meters. A water treatment plant facilitates the gravitation of 68 hectares or 429,400 cubic meters to sizeable storage dams.
