      Hi EWB,

      How much does it currently cost people to get water delivered by truck? How many litres? Cost of delivery distance? (per km?)

      Many Thanks,

        Hey David,

        A: We’re unsure on the exact figures, as receiving water in this manner is not actually relied upon on the homelands. If there was a transport of water into the area required, it would most likely be in response to a cyclone or flood emergency.
        The homelands almost always rely on local water supply (bores, ground water, lagoon/river, or rainwater harvesting).
