"People don't realize, when you're out of water, you're out of everything." Brown's community in the Shelburne area of Nova Scotia's South Shore is one of many suffering the effects of an unseasonably dry season. He has been waiting three weeks for a construction crew to dig a well 1.8 metres deeper, so his home will once again have water. (Eric Woolliscroft/CBC)"We've been travelling, carrying water from Shelburne," Brown said. The provincial government has been working to find out how many people across the province are dealing with dry wells, and so far, it says 1,000 families have reported having no water.
