Everywhere; and not a Drop to Drink": Reflecting on the haunting words from history's struggles with scarcity. Horse-drawn carts collect precious water at East Bay, Trevone, Padstow, Cornwall in 1911 - an era when resilience was key to survival. Laguna Miluni reveals its plight - contaminated by mine effluent and diminished by drought's relentless grip.

From 1996-2011, farmers witnessed their watering hole almost drying up during an unforgiving drought period - a testament to their unwavering spirit against all odds. Laguna Miluni stands as a reservoir sustained by glacial meltwater from Huayna Potosi peak - reminding us of nature's delicate balance we must protect.
