The lack of water in the town of Thiotte, up in the hills of Massif de la Selle, so greatly affects the livelihood of the farmers who live there that a new plan for trapping rain water, through the use of dozens of MINUSTAH funded tanks, has been initiated. In periods of dry weather, the soil becomes infertile, creating a domino effect that affects the quality of their herds and, eventually, the population. As it stands, capturing the rainwater during times of plenty seems the natural solution to Thiotte's water problem.
