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.
In critical situations without proper plumbing, you even see things like Dubai trucking in water and trucking out poop (!!!) or the Isn't'realis trucking in water to make fucking semiconductors. Which was considered for TSMC Arizona plant (who needs the Colorado River!!! water sources are all in your head) until we just like, scared them off by not even playing ball with them.
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.
"Perri Air" does not qualify as an "air source" ;-)

A source is like something you can bottle from. I don't think buying gallon bottles of water counts. Also, tainted water that gives a baby cholera in a formula mix doesn't count.
Oh, I see.
