Drought in Cuba attracts water vendors
RANCHUELO, Cuba, March 2 (Félix
Reyes Gutiérrez, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - The ongoing drought
in the area has brought out people who supply
water for a price in Ranchuelo, and since
February 22, several can be seen plying
the town's streets.
"These vendors, just by taking water
to those that need it, make upwards of 30
pesos a day. That is, they make more than
a university graduate," said Ranchuelo
resident Lourdes Oses.
Ranchuelo is one of the few towns on the
island that doesn't have an aqueduct, so
it normally relies on wells for its water.
The wells are running very low or dry due
to the length and severity of the dry season.
