Water, as we all know, is critical to almost all forms of life.  Previously, I noted what my life was like in rural Bolivia, where there was no potable water system, and the community where I lived, myself included, was forced to get all of its water from a nearby irrigation canal.

From the years 2000 to 2003 I lived in a small Bolivian village that had no potable water.  Though there was no water in taps, we did have the irrigation canal (pictured above), that made life possible and bearable.  Living without indoor plumbing is a challenge, but it is possible, and millions [...]]]></description>
