Water for 2000 villagers for 25 years
What's Wrong?
Without a clean, reliable source of water, people have to wait for days with empty pots to store as much as they can when it is available.
Water Frenzy
During the intermittent periods when there is water, everyone has to rush with their containers to gather and utilize this treasured commodity.
