Description
A group of unidentified men with donkeys carrying small tanks for gathering water. Before the Point Four program arrived in Iran, the village of Mayan obtained its water from seepage to shallow potholes from a polluted creek near the village. The village landlord decided to cooperate with the Point Four program to get residents better water.
