Amna Bibi from the Tharparkar District explains how brackish (saline contaminated) water has affected her community:
Drinking this saline and muddy water makes our children get sick all the time. It causes various stomach diseases such as diarrhea and excessive vomiting that lead us to spend more money on our children's health than on their education.

WaterAid's partner has started a rainwater harvesting project and implementation of storage systems to prevent Amna and her community having to spend up to eight hours a day collecting brackish water.
