DRINKING WATER PROBLEM
SOLYED AFTER CENTURIES After centuries of waiting the drinking-water problem of the famous island mount, Mont St. Michel, off the north coast of Franee has been solved. There has been no souree of drinking water on the island itself. A digging of wells was impossible, and so the thirsty were dependent on rain and bottled water. All this has now been changed. Mont St. Michel has a water supply of its own, pumped through a pipe from the neighbouring villqge of Moldrey. Work on the project was started early this year and is now virtually finished. The cost was 650,000 francs. Electrically operated pumps have been installed to force the water to the mount, wheire there are two reservoirs, eacll containing 100 cubiic metre^yone near the summit and the other at the base of the famous abbey. •
