Pictured is water being pumped out of an aquifer into this holding pit. Water from the pit is pumped into water tankers that sell the water to rural homes and farms for much higher prices than if they were connected to the tap. It felt like we were witnessing the Earth being robbed and sucked dry. But of course, people need to drink water! And it's not as though the water that comes out of our tap in the city is sourced much differently. Water is a shared resource and all of us face water scarcity.

Bonus: There were fish in the holding pit due to a recent storm! (I guess it rains fish?) Just kidding, there was a larger pond nearby that must have overflowed during the storm.
