Women and children who happens to be the most affected have to wake up as early as 2:00 am in the morning to take their gallons to available water facilities in order to get access to water, thereby exposing them to dangers such as armed robbery attack cold weather. They are forced to use any water that is available even if it is highly contaminated causing water borne epidemics of Jaundice, Cholera etc.
