Your description reminds me of the fictional Pacific island (based on 
Sri Lanka) that was described in Arthur C. Clarke's book The Fountains 
of Paradise. The local king/warlord had a bunch of pleasure gardens 
built, along with some large fountains fed from a cistern on a mountain. 
To keep the fountains going, he had hundreds of slaves continually 
carrying water up to the cistern.
