Oscar Alexis Maldonado Ramírez rides his horse 'Palomo' along a stretch of the Rio Nacaome.

"We're in the middle of the river, in the middle of what was the river, it shouldn't be like this should it? Even when it rains, which is rare now, the water disappears quickly, the crops fail without irrigation, but now the wells keep drying up so we can't irrigate. I've just taken my cattle away, they can't survive here without water. In fact we can't survive here without water."
