Drilling in El Rodeo

April- 2015- Drilling has begun in El Rodeo. This large community and surrounding satellite communities all draw water from a hole dug deep at the foot of the mountain.

The water level drops terribly this time of year, to just a trickle, causing the women to line up to midnight and beyond for a turn at filling their water jugs.

Groups of men take turns to sleep at the drill site to make sure that all remains where it should be.
