Village action

These photos were taken in early November on a trip to the places in Nagaur District, about 20km from Khatu Ashram, where we are delivering water. On this day I visited the villages of Durgastau, Chapra,Rotoo, Dhanani and Setudau. The area where these villages are located has severe problems with the groundwater. It is so salty that animals that drink it immediately get sick. The tankers are putting in various places in and around the mentioned villages in the pre constructed watering troughs.

The first photo is one of the tractor tankers at the point of filling in the village of Jayal. The water is coming from a government water supply and the local district magistrate is to the left in the photo












In the third photo it is hard to see but there is a large herd of wild deer, known as black buck, which are also getting their water supply through our tankers.
