How to Solve - Step 1

First, you will need to look at which pools are filled on the right wall and apply it to the left wall. In this case, you will need to fill up the pool in the middle and empty all other pools

To do this, you will need to redirect the sand coming from the top and close the leaking sprout on the middle pool.
