In some areas the wells are so far below the earth's surface that chains of people are required to pass up the water.” PeopleWellsStillsTwoEndsSometimesBodyEarthWaterWalksCommonGreaterDiseaseNormalSixPercentAreasDistanceEnvironmentalSurfaceEastChainsPondsParasitesStewCholeraEast AfricaTyphoidDysentery Author:Marq de Villiers
