Water

Most houses or groups of houses in the compounds near where we live, have a well.  The well water is used for washing and watering gardens - drinking and cooking water is brought from either the hand pumps or from stands where mains water can be bought.
Now that the dry season is taking hold, many people's wells are dry.  This means that water must be carried daily from the pumps, often meaning a wait of two hours now that the pumps are busy.
Gardens are drying up.
Life is difficult here.

The well.  You can just see a splash of water at the bottom

There was about a cup full of water in the container when it came up
