Kids on Ly Son Island in Quang Ngai province have a bath in a big basin. The water can then be reused to wash clothes and irrigate vegetables.

 

In hot weather, kids and adults have a dip in the sea in the early morning and late afternoon.

 

Quang Ngai’s people have to save every can of well water.

 

In the mountainous areas, people have to catch each drop of water from drying streams.
