Groundwater collection bucket on a wood tower near a metal bungalow surrounded by rough grass, near Ancud, Chiloe Island, Chile


Groundwater, pumped out and collected in large plastic buckets standing on wooden platforms, is the main source of household water on Chiloe Island and in other parts of Southern Chile. The cool rainy temperate climate of Chiloe Island, with rainfall throughout the year from frontal weather systems from the Pacific, gives rise to a 'green and pleasant land' reminiscent of the English countryside.
