San Jos\u00e9 Tejulca, Puebla, Mexico\u2014<\/span>With only a very small water basin, the Ortiz family struggled to afford enough water for their daily needs. Because families in this village must pay for a truck to deliver clean water, having a large cistern means fewer deliveries and less expense.
