Water is Precious

I have gained a new appreciation for what a short water supply really means. Each day, water is pumped from a bowl well into a storage tank that disributes the potable water to the house. Somedays, only a few liters of water can be collected and pulled from the well. As the monsoon does not arrive for another month, we're in the heat of dry season at present. Which means, I have the opportunity to experience bucket baths, and true water conservation. For example, leaving the water running while brushing your teeth, would directly impact how much water we had left to drink for the following week.
