Villagers here are assured of continued water supply through the summer as their only source of water is kept well recharged. The method is to guide all spilt water into the local kui or open well, which keeps it recharged. “Instead of collecting water at the solar-powered tube well located about 30 meters away, we do it at the kui through an extended pipe. “A lot of water got wasted when individuals came to collect water at different times. In the past, summer months had the villagers collecting water from an open well in an agriculture field.
