Excerpt from 'Autumn' by Rainer Maria Rilke:
The leaves fall, fall as from far,
Like distant gardens withered in the heavens,
They fall with slow and lingering descent.
And in the nights, the heavy Earth too, falls,
From out the stars into the Solitude.

As the temperature rises, the political climate gets heated here in my village. The extremely high temperatures during both summer and winter have negatively influenced the amount of drinkable water during the year. The local government implemented strategies for preserving water by cutting off water supply during the night hours. Collectively the community is trying to rationalize water. The shortage and scarcity of water are creating tension between citizens. The fear of not having water or being able to take a shower, wash your vegetables, cook meals is growing among the villagers. Particularly during the pandemic where washing hands is an important hygienic step, water scarcity generates an unsettling climate.
