Rainwater
During the rainy season the field office and clinic collect rainwater in these large black tanks. 
The only other rainwater collection I saw in the village was at this man’s home – the gutter meandered along the side of the older mud house, through a half built brick structure and into a cistern. You’ll see many “everything but the roof” brick structures around the cluster. This is because they can make the bricks but the corrugated roofs are very expensive. The last photo show kids running down the gorge after school. You can see the white holding tanks below – where they gather water in the morning. Pumping water up to the main street will greatly reduce the hours it and energy required to get water back to the household.
