This article describes a community effort in the Nakai District of Central Laos. After a severe dry season in 2015, the USAID Mekong Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change (Mekong ARCC) project partnered with the International Union for Convervation of Nature to address droughts in Laos due to climate change. The project engaged over 300 villagers, including 73 women, to rehabilitate existing gravity-fed water systems, and construct new ones, to improve water flow and storage. This improved water collection system saved village women hours of labor each day and improved water security and distribution in the village.
