We have two water sauces, the normal house water which is desalinated seawater can be used for washing cleaning and basic cooking like boiling potatoes, it is drinkable but taste's like yuck so we buy bottled water to drink and cook stuff like rice and pasta with.
Then we have a agricultural water supply which is cheaper.
It's not very clean water, it's stored in numerous big ponds in the mountains, these ponds are fed from mountain slopes and a few natural springs and streams.
Problem is... some times these ponds dry up :scratchhead
:tiphat
EDIT: Make that three water sauces :lol
I don't believe it, it's bloody raining :rainsmile

Good news John.
I meant to ask before; is the plant a native of GC or the islands, or is it another variety?
