[@HemiJoel]

In my country, we transport clean water much more efficiently: in underground pipes.

[@ehombane]

@@HemiJoel Yep, and how many years and how much investment was needed? Those guys made that cart from scrap in few hours. I assume that you do not understand the power of capital and good administration. You need both to have a good infrastructure. An by the way of pipes. I remember some initiative of some westerners to help some african villagers. They ”invented” a selftransporting barrel. Actually a barrel with ballbearings at ends, that was dragged by dragging it. better than transporting the water on the heads as villagers did. But the method was stupid and wasteful. Barrels needed to be thicker to resist on road, and hence expensive. And even more expensive because they overcharged, funds being raised through donations. All that plastic could be used simpler as a pipe, resist much longer. And even pumping by hand, would have used a lot less human energy. But that thing looked like a scam. An cheap and efficient system could not bring asa much funds to the scammers.

My point being that man's wife is willing to do life threatening stuff for him and she sees it as nothing more than doing her part as does he.
