02 APRIL 2016 - NA SAK, LAMPANG, THAILAND: A 79 year old farmer walks through the water tank the farmer built for his water buffalo in Sobjant village. He said this is the first time the tank has been empty, and that in 2015, also a year of drought, he still had 1.5 meters of water in his tank at this time of year. The village of Sobjant in Na Sak district in Lampang province was submerged when the Mae Chang Reservoir was created in the 1980s. The village was relocated to higher ground a few kilometers from its original site. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
