We are hopefully nearing the end of a very long dry season.
There is no town water here where we live, and we collect rain water in underground cisterns. We have two cisterns that are about 9 feet (3 meters) across and 12 feet (4 meters) deep. Since there has been no rain for nearly 6 months, our cisterns have run out. So, we took the opportunity to clean out the mud and dirt and then patch them for cracks and leaks.
We have had to purchase truckloads of water, and we are hoping for the rains to come soon. There are very few wells in this area since the wells often contain salt water. The water then has to be desalinated and delivered by trucks to homes for consumption.
We are still getting used to conserving water with short showers and outhouses.
