ORME, Tennessee (Reuters) - A small town tucked away in the mountains of southern Tennessee is getting by on just a few hours of water a day. Its spring has run dry in the drought sweeping the Southeast. Each evening, residents wait for Mayor Tony Reames to make the short drive from his home up to a water tower on a wooded hill above the town to open a valve. When the water is flowing families can fill buckets and water jars, do laundry, take showers and wash dishes before the faucets run dry and they wait for the next evening. Resident Julie Hoover described Orme as a "hideaway" and a "piece of heaven." It was safe and everyone knew each other, but she said the water shortage had created serious problems.

Which best describes the main theme of this passage?

• A. People need to remember the past.

• B. People need to take shorter showers.

• C. People need to try to resist change.

• D. People need to adapt for survival.
