I don't get it... how do the rest survive?
Containers alone. Or a mixture of containers for important things & low quality sources if available
Yes but they must fill their containers at a drinking water source...
Maybe it's a language thing I'm not understanding.
I assume the article means that only 56% of the population have access to modernized drinking water sources (i.e. properly treated fresh water). More than likely SEED (Veolia) has been only concerned with profit, therefore neglecting to extend infrastructure outside urban areas.
Ok yea, that makes more sense to me. Thanks.
