The title of this post seems to be pretty accurate since we've notice that almost every little farm next to a cliff or downstream from a glacier has a waterfall its back yard. There are so many creeks here that stem from the massive snow pack up in the mountains or the national park's glacier that you can always be close to water. Many of the properties have to dig moats around their homestead to divert the water around and hopefully prevent flooding.
Another thing we learned is that most people have warm water supplied by the district. It is centrally heated by geothermal means and pumped to most of the homes, where it circulates in all the home's radiators and can be used for showers, etc. People only pay for the warm water they use. It's such a stark contrast to California's drought.
