:13:03
There's no stream within the
orography of the Huveaune river.
:13:08
What does that mean?
:13:12
The source of your water
is some way away.
:13:17
- I want to speak.
- This isn't the time.
:13:20
I'll make it short.
:13:22
Just let him turn on the water.
He can explain later.
:13:30
I'm not a plumber.
:13:32
Now, the first hypothesis is drought.
:13:36
The trouble may be due
to a drop in the water table.
:13:42
The watercourse is determined by seams
of dolomite in the limestone.
:13:47
It can cross the seams via a network
of siphons. You know what that is?
:13:51
You use them in winemaking.
:13:54
Precisely. During the rainy season,
the siphons are reactivated
:13:59
as soon as the water table rises
to its normal level.
:14:03
What table?
:14:05
Quiet! To oppose progress
is a sure sign of ignorance!
:14:08
If progress turns my water on,
I'm all for it,
:14:11
and, if my spring flows again,
here's my 100 francs for progress.
:14:18
Let's hear the rest...
:14:20
the rest of his rubbish.
:14:24
Now, the second hypothesis.
:14:26
The subterranean stream
drops into a network of cavities.
:14:31
Once they're full,
:14:33
the water rises and
the spring will flow again.
:14:36
- How soon?
- I really couldn't say.
:14:40
Perhaps in two days,
perhaps in two years.
:14:48
Or a hundred years!
:14:50
That's not to be ruled out.
:14:52
Third hypothesis...
:14:53
To hell with your theories!
What can you do for us right now?
:14:57
The administration can provide a daily
truck with 1 ,300 gallons of water.
