70. REC. Good idea to bring this up, Tsiyu. There are a lot of us, myself included,
who haven't a clue about this. My first thought was 'why don't they drill a well?' Of course, if one is poor, the cost of a well is prohibitive.
There is at least one organization that exists that tries to bring clean water to communities that do not have it, but I think it's geared more toward international aid. This sounds like a perfect example of a role for Americorps or some other public service group to take on.
Another obstacle to drilling a well is that some locations have polluted aquifers.
