The rural cisterns of La Unión

More about the book

Focusing on the significance of cisterns in semi-arid regions, the book explores their historical importance as vital resources for water conservation. It highlights the contrast between their past utility and their current state of neglect and deterioration. The narrative reflects on how these structures represent a bygone way of life and the challenges faced in recognizing their value in modern society. As rural cisterns are dismantled or destroyed, the text emphasizes the loss of heritage and the need for a renewed appreciation of these once-essential elements of the landscape.
