Stephanie Ng's Visit- May 2012
When we arrived at the well midday, there was no one there. Lucas and Paul informed that this water is very salty and is not fit for human consumption. However, the salinity is great for livestock. There is some type of mutual agreement between Logoricho community and Lentanai/Ntepes- all of the people from Logoricho fetch water for themselves and their families from the Lentanai/Ntepes well and in turn, all of the people from Lentanai/Ntepes have their livestock drink from the Logoricho well. This serves to keep the Lentanai/Ntepes free from animal contamination and the Logoricho well is able to provide water for thousands of valuable livestock. The walk between the two wells is only about 30 minutes one way.
