Watermount Jamaica/ Jamaican Reggae

Watermount Jamaica.....No water in households...


In Watermount Jamaica there is no water in households. The water supply comes from one standpipe where not only can you get drinking water but it is also where residents do their laundry. Residents have been promised a improvement in water supply since 1977 and till this day there are lock-offs to different standpipes.

How would u feel if u couldn't just get up and get water? Your shower water is water that people have done laundry in? how does this remind you of school discussions about some countries not having water at all, going green and recycling water? Who do you think is to blame?
