If you dig for water all you get it salty water. In that area they are running on water tanks from the winter rains. If they don't get those rains then water, (at great cost) must be shipped up by trucks. Everything has to be shipped up there. So next time you are riding up there remember you are not in a city You must either pay for water or have aboriginal knowledge of the local water holes. Humans were never meant to live in those conditions and water is a luxury there. hi
