Blue plastic barrel, apparently cut down by hand to its current height. Black bottom. Stenciled in white letters are the words "WATER" and "AGUA" (the Spanish word for "WATER"). Water Station is an organization that places these barrels in the desert near the California/Mexico border, placing water bottles inside for border-crossing immigrants to drink and thus avoid dehydration.
