CUBA:
Drought-Stricken East Pins Hopes on Aqueduct
Tension fills the air
as 300,000 people in eastern Cuba anxiously await the construction of an
aqueduct that is to bring them water from the Cauto River, the longest
on this Caribbean island.

''I used to pray for rain, but now I am following with my soul the
construction of the aqueduct. That appears to be our salvation,'' says
