Villagers from Barnawa, pop.6000, Baghpat District, Uttar Pradesh, India, located along the banks of the severely polluted Hindon river, are collecting water from a government-installed hand-pump on the outskirts of the village, on Wednesday, Apr. 16, 2008. Governmental 200 ft deep hand-pumps, although fewer in number, provide better quality water in comparison to the 40-80 ft deep private ones many people have installed when building their homes.
