A moonrise can be seen from a Navajo home on the South Chavez Loop in New Mexico. Water barrels mark the entrance to many homes on the Reservation. With no running water in most sinks, kitchens just blend into the rest of the living area and centralized water barrels become almost the heart of the home. In an interview with a reporter for Vice News, NTUA Deputy General Manager Rex Kontz stated that he does not believe that the crisis will be resolved in any fewer than 50 years and for any less than $5 billion. Many Navajo who have lived their whole lives without running water understand this and have decided to live the best life they can with what they have. “I don't think about that no more," says Alice Long about being connected to the water lines. "I gave up on that a long time ago.”
