Water, water everywhere

Although it is cool here and we don't have a great need for water consumption, we are certainly prepared for such an eventuality. Virtually every living space, tent, building, etc., has a pallet of cases of water sitting in front of it. 1.5 litre bottles of Rawdalain, Kuwait's Deep Ground Natural Mineral Water. There is large yard full of pallets of cases of bottled water. Since there is no plumbing here, and thus no running water other than what is trucked in and put in storage tanks, the bottled water is what we drink. Kind of wasteful, though, since it's hard to get through a quart and a half of water. Smaller bottles would get fully consumed. As it is, folks leave half full bottles lying all over. They proliferate like rabbits.
