«So, you will dig a reservoir as well. Sorry, but what about the desalination phase?» «The pipes do it all! We discovered that there are several companies that have been using similar systems for quite a few years now: they are pipes made of a particular material that retains the salt that is harmful to the crops and also other contaminants, so the water flowing out of the pipes should be ready to be used.» Domenica stops in front of my door and moves about the index finger of her right hand, as if to indicate the need to speak to me. «Sorry Dad, I have to go now. Talk to you later, okay?» «Of course. You have to work, I guess.» «Yes, I think so.» «Well then, good luck with your job and have a good day.» «Thanks, good luck with yours too, then: good diggings.» «Thanks, bye Brando.»
