Water cistern in the Thar desert in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India - Stockfoto

Jaisalmer, August 13, 2019, Rajastan, India In the image we see a large drinking water tank located in the Thar desert, near Jaisalmer. Next to the tank a hydraulic system has been installed in the form of a siphon that allows access to the water so that the least amount possible is wasted. Given that the water wells are not too abundant and that the channeling of drinking water does not reach all rural areas, it is necessary to install large cisterns like the one we can see in the image to supply the small population centers that live in the desert.
