Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Alpha Amadou Bah drinks water from the main pump in central Boké. Near him are two yellow bidons (jerry cans) used to carry water. This pump is primarily for shops and workers, as well as the few residents in town. A vendor sells one bidon of water for 100 fg (equivalent to 10 cents).
