Manuel Palmar
Manuel Palmar is a 34-year-old accountant living in the lower-middle-class neighborhood of Ziruma in Maracaibo, Venezuela. He has taken proactive measures in response to the city's severe water crisis by investing in a private well for his family, which can store up to 80,000 liters of water weekly. Although the water sourced from his well is not fit for drinking due to its high salinity, he finds it invaluable for daily activities such as washing clothes and flushing toilets, describing it as a 'blessing' amidst the ongoing water shortages.
