Water Works

This is Marlon, a statistician from CIDS, giving a demonstration of how a well works. Unfortunately, this one was broken, but he got to at least practice the cranking technique. This picture was taken at the health outpost in Sabaneta. Most folks living out there use well water, although in some rural areas people just use river water if it's available. One team on the brigade was sent out to an area where a river divided part of the community. People have to wade through the river to travel from their houses to the center of the town. Many people living on that side of the river were sick.
