Watched a couple of episodes of the Himba tribe with scarlett Moffat and the long trek the women had to fetch water and even when they got there, they had to dig
Last night there was a short programme on RT , I don’t know which country, but the women were wearing beautiful saris and a man had three wives.
The first wasn’t able to do all her chores because of her long trek for water each day
So he married another woman, who was ill and couldn’t do it, so he married a third to help out
He didn’t look like a particularly rich man either
I’ve never been to any country like this so have never seen anything like this.
Even this hot country I’m in at the moment where it doesn’t rain much
Water , thankfully flows freely out of the taps.
It made me aware how much is wasted though.
Just running the tap till I got warm water on the flannel got me thinking a couple of litres must’ve gone down the sink.
The question I think I’m asking is, is trying to conserve water in our country pointless when we have so much of it.
Any other thoughts are welcome.
