When I looked at this photo, I couldn’t tell what it was and yesterday, after reading Crispina’s post I became aware that it was a covered water well! ( I hope I got that right!)

Where I live, a water well looks like this in rural areas. Very basic but very essential. Water is a scarce resource in the world today. When people have to put in hard work to fetch water, they value it more.

We, the city dwellers however get running water just by turning the tap on. That’s why we waste a lot more water than the villagers. We hear the words that we should NOT WASTE WATER but these words rarely sink in. The only time we realize the importance of running water in taps is when due to some technical problem, the supply is suspended.
Value water for its a precious resource.

I could not agree more. Water is life. And there are so many places in this world with less that ideal levels of water and water quality. A great share. Thank you Sadje.

Where I live there is always water. All we have to do is turn the tap and out it pours. I think that’s why we take it for granted and don’t understand its value. Sadly if we continue as we are there will be a time when water will be rationed…maybe not in my lifetime but the time will come if change doesn’t happen.

That is so true Patricia. We don’t value it because it’s so freely available.

I had to cart every drop I used for months in one village but fortunately droughts here had taught me how to be frugal yet others laugh at me …

Yes, scarcity teaches us to value it more.

Here on the US west coast, fires threaten in the middle of a drought we are learning this lesson.

I wholeheartedly agree with you there. The experience of my childhood (and grandma’s well) coupled with living in an area which, despite being in UK with piped water, has known intermittent periods of drought when water arrives in a tanker to be rationed, makes me all too aware of what life with no easy supply of water can be like,

Thanks Crispina. I can imagine how you’d value this precious resource.

Indeed, yes. Ironic, I now live precariously between a river and the sea, both of which could rise and drown me (though not expected in my life time)

Most of us are, and probably that’s why we don’t value it as we should

I didn’t know that it was a covered well until i read her post too. Water is precious indeed and people take it too much for granted.

I know I use to much water, it is far too convenient. But I try to cut back a little more and more.

I try to do that too. As soon as I remember, I turn off the tap.
