Laura residents are especially worried about their water supply.
They have fears that are fed by recurring rumors of wells drying and water that tastes, maybe, a little salty. This week yet another team is arriving to do yet another study.

Trying to project such figures is impossible because of variables such as rain, according to Anthony.
