Saw a video of yanks running around with box`s of drinking water - where I come from we drilled holes and installed manual pumps or windmills - yanks might have acres of kit but seems they are short on DF (common sense)
Yeah right, there are drilling rigs all over Haiti, just laying around. Do you have a clue just how long it takes to find a water table, survey it, set up the drilling rig/s, drill to the water, then install a distribution system, even if you are just filling water bottles?

Not to mention what would happen to this newly discovered water well site when the aftershocks hit.

For some reason I don't believe that it is us Yanks that are short on common sense regarding this matter.
