The problem with water! The water problem in many countries is terrible, especially in countries where they do not have rivers or one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the world. Venezuela is fortunate to have the *Simon Bolivar* hydroelectric plant, one of the largest in the world, but the inhabitants of this country have to live in the terrible situation of not having this vital liquid flow on their homes and neighboorhoods for months or weeks. However, my son and I are lucky enough to only have this predicament for more than a few days.
It's not something of social class, here both poor and rich live in the same precarious conditions. Sure, those who can buy some water tanks will be able to have more access to water and those who do not will have to fill themselves with enough patience to wait for the day when the water supply arrives normally through the potable water aqueduct. I am lucky that the water supply arrives to my house every 5 days. But there are places in my neighborhood where people spend more days without water, even though we are living nearby on the same street, in the same urbanization. Now everyone uses water pumps to take water and stock up before the flow from the pipe runs out. Sometimes it stays flowing for hours, sometimes for more than 24 hours. No one really knows exactly for how long it will stay. Doesn't it seem fair to not have the right personnel to be able to deal with this issue? Despite having this great hydroelectric tributary in the country? Or perhaps, is it that there are more important things to solve in the country than the water problem? I really don't know.

I thought that your country wouldn't have much water problems being near the amazon river and all?
We have rivers everywhere. But the most important thing is our great hydroelectric plant! Will you see how much water is there to generate electricity, and if there is so much water, why does it fail?
That's actually what makes me curious because it's such a water rich country too and if your country's main electricity source is water then i wonder why the shortage
Nobody takes care of their work here. The specialty is speaking and convincing people who is to blame for the ills of the country. Nothing else happens.
What empty people you have oof. More solutions could have been made instead of wasting that much time just talking things out
And above all, time is wasted looking for culprits outside our country. We all know where the solution is, only those in power do not know.
Lol why even go out of the country. Your politicians are worse than the ones here
But... Once a tap is open it's open. It sounds to me this is closed on purpose.
Do you pay the bills for that kind of water supply? I hope they do not change a lot for that kind of service. I will be stress not having water supply for a day, a week or a month is a disaster for me. I hope someone will something about the water problem and fully utilise the modality there.
It's always the same. Nobody does anything to fix it on a large scale. Only for short periods of time and then the problem continues.
Sound just like our village road over here. The city area is better though.
We had no water for a day or two and we are already complaining. I can't imagine having water only every 5 days. But do you have more places to store water when it comes to keep you hydrated for 5 days at least?
Thank God I have two tanks for water, I can fill them with my water pump, when the supply arrives. But there are many people who pass by my house who are not so lucky.
It is hard to do without water no matter how little you use. It makes life more expensive too. I have done weeks without and I am happy I have my own water pump although it has issues too and the water is not cleaned. We still use and drink it although I try to fill some bottles at the city tap too as long as they are not closed. With us, it depends on the temperature outside, which part of the country you live (the soil), and which part of the line you are (I am with everything at the end, internet included). If the water companies decide to give less water the first in line still has (and not use less water) and the last in line has nothing. Although the country is built on water, are surrounded by it, have rivers, canals wherever you go or see this doesn't mean there is enough water (strange, strange) especially not for those living on the sand ground. A water pump is a good solution to have at least something if you can lay your hands on it. So every 5 days it is a shower, laundry, do the dishes and fill cans of water day? Why your government is doing this I don't know. I assume they have water, power...perhaps the PM loves to live in a country without a nation?
