Drought-hit Chile community brings water back by rebuilding soil and trees

By protecting forests, restoring its watershed, building a gravity-fed water network and involving local residents in maintenance, the community has maintained a reliable system for nearly seven years. The project is now being presented as a model for other rural areas facing water shortages.
