12-6-12 Water shortage - Nanwalek, Alaska, USA
Observation: The communities water resource was blocked by ice and the water dam was low, having to shut the school down for the day. The waterlines in the village would freeze causing the pipes to burst. This is the main source of water for the village. The whole village depends on the water for everything. We have lots of youth and elders that depend on this for their health. Priscilla Evans
