They’ve diverted some of the river water to run through a pipe along the top. It branches off with a small pipe to each section. It can be blocked off so you put the clothes in the slanted section, scrub and rinse. Each section has a drain also.
Btw, it just hit me that the origin of the word “laundromat” is a portmanteau of “laundry” and “automatic,” used to describe a place with multiple automated washing machines. However, I’m not sure exactly what this facility would better be called in either English or Castellano.

Thank you.

Call it a “laundry”
It would be Spanish. Lavanderia, perhaps.
