Water Queues/Fights.

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the aquifer article Fraggle. I have seen water queues/fight with my

own eyes in India almost 12 years ago. Long queues, tired women, some with young

babies standing for hours just to get a pail or two of water. Sometimes, there

are even fights in these queues. If you don't get water then tough luck, you go

to work without water/bath just like that. Due to this people die of sunstroke

sometimes, specially the aged !!

 

Take a look at this article:

The actual conditions are much worse than described in the article.
