Current water source!

Here is the current source of water for the area just mentioned in the last post.  It is a spring bubbling up forming a puddle.  The neighboring villagers had enlarged it to form somewhat of a catch basin from which they scoop the water.  The closest "village" in about a half mile, making all the others much further.  As you can imagine, It is also the lowest spot around so all water must be carried uphill by the women and children... in the mud, on their head.  You get the picture.  And yes, this little spot in the picture is the entire water source for maybe 200 families if they are similar sized "villages" or about 1500 people.
