Uhambo oluya eHacienda Buena Vista luyisipiliyoni esingavamile ngezindlela ezingaphezu kweyodwa. Kutholakala ezintabeni phakathi kwePonce ne-Adjuntas, lokhu kungomunye wamasimu amahlanu wekhofi esebenza emhlabeni osebenza kuze kube yilolu suku usebenzisa amandla wamanzi.
Ngaphandle kobuhle bemvelo nezakhiwo eziyinkimbinkimbi, umonakalo wobunjiniyela obonakalayo eHacienda Vista ukhumbula isikhathi esilula, lapho amandla amanzi ashintsha lesi sitshalo saba yilapho ephumelela kakhulu ePuerto Rico.
Ulwazi Olujwayelekile
I-Hacienda Buena Vista itholakala enyakatho yedolobha lasePonce, eduze neCarretera 123 endaweni yaseCorral Viejo. Kukhona izinkambo ngesiNgisi kusuka ngoLwesithathu kuya ngeSonto, noma ngokuqokwa. I-hacienda iyindawo evikelekile yemvelo ye-Conservation Trust yasePuerto Rico.
I-19th Century Marvel of Engineering
I-Hacienda Buena Vista, noma i-Hacienda Vives, njengoba yayibizwa futhi, yasungulwa ngo-1833 nguSalvador Vives. Ekuhloswe ekuqaleni ukuhlinzeka ukudla kwezigqila ezazisebenza emazweni aseduze, i-hacienda yaqala njengetshe lokulima. Yathuthela ikhofi lapho isizukulwane sesithathu semindeni yaseVives (uSalvador Vives Navarro) sithola imishini nezakhiwo ezidingekayo ukutshala ubhontshisi obhiqizayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lesi sitshalo sasikhiqiza i-cocoa futhi siyakhula , noma senza imbewu.
Kodwa i-Hacienda yayinomsebenzi wayo. Umndeni waseVives wawufuna ukusebenzisa amanzi, kodwa kungenza kuphela esimweni sokuthi amanzi abuyiselwe, ahlanzeke, emfuleni weCanas.
Ukuze kulungiswe lokhu, umndeni wakha umsele wezitini ongamamitha angu-1,121 (kamuva wahlanganiswa nesimiso ukuwuvikela) kanye nomfula omncane owawuhambisa amanzi amanzi emanzini. Umklamo ohlakaniphile wawuyizingqimba ukuze kube lula ukugeleza kwamanzi, futhi wasebenzisa i-tank decanting ukuhlunga amanzi ngaphambi kokuba ifinyelele ezakhiweni.
Ukuvakasha kukuthatha ekhaya lekhulu le-19 lemindeni yaseVives, okwamanje igcina impahla yokuqala yangaphambili, ephuma ehlathini elisezindaweni ezishisayo lapho amanzi ahanjiswa khona. Njengoba sisendleleni, isikhala sethu, uZamira, sichaza ukuthi i-canopy encane yemithi ye-cocoa yavikela kanjani ubhontshisi wekhofi, yabonisa ezinye ze-flaura yendawo kanye nezinyamazane, futhi wasithatha enhliziyweni yesitshalo ukuze sibonise indlela ummbila kanye nekhofi , zakhiwe.
Esigabeni ngasinye, safunda indlela amanzi, umswakama, nomthunzi ezazisetshenziselwa ngayo ukwenza ummbila kanye nekhofi. Sibone amanzi ashintsha umshini usebenzisa i-turbine enkulu futhi eyingqayizivele yemilenze emibili, innovation entsha yosuku lwayo. Ngandlela-thile, ngathola ukuthi amaphesenti angama-28 amahhahishi ekhofi e- almud , noma isitsha sekhofi, akhiqiza amakhilogremu amathathu ekhofi, okwanginika ukwazisa okuphelele kwendebe yami yasekuseni.
Ngo-Okthoba, ungabamba iqhaza kule nqubo kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, kusukela ekukhethweni ubhontshisi ukugoba nokuphuza indebe yokuphela kaJoe. Futhi endleleni, iPuerto Rico ikhiqiza ikhofi enhle kakhulu. Kodwa ngisho noma ungakwazi ukukwenza phakathi nenkathi, i-Hacienda Buena Vista iyinhlangano ehlelwe kahle, egcinwe futhi ehlangene ezintabeni zasePuerto Rico.
