The nearly 2000 windmills of Miramar, Peru, are said to have been developed by a person with virtually no knowledge of windpower technology and without any outside technical assistance. These windmills were first used over 50 years ago to solve the problem of providing adequate irrigation from the Chira River in a region with minimal rainfall. The known details regarding the development of these windmills and the windmill and irrigation systems employed are described.
