"While we work in the fields, my sister-in-law walks five miles to the nearest village hand-pump to fill up our pots with drinking water. There is always a long queue at this pump and sometimes fights break out . . .many families send their children to fill up water. Some believe it's more important than sending them to school." Bargi Devi, Indian Farmer
