the government is attempting to shut down the wells that the indigenous communities have built. Pearson also reports that Article 12 of the new water law also makes it illegal to collect your own water via well or rain collection.

Restricting and controlling people's access to water is one way to force people to conform to the consumerist society, as they'll no longer be able to supplement their food with crops and will be forced to buy more and possibly become dependent on government controlled rations. This is so unjust.
