In 2014, Rafael Surmay’s faucets stopped running. After three years of California’s record-setting drought, his well had gone dry.

| What happens when the wells run dry? |
He was not alone. Surmay lives in the small, rural community of East Porterville, California, and his was one of 500 wells there that dried up.
Surmay: “At the beginning, I lost a little bit of hope.”
For the first six months, his family was given a 300-gallon container that the nearby city of Porterville would fill weekly.
