The puestos of the desert are small housing units dedicated to livestock production in the non-irrigated drylands in central-west Argentina. These scattered constructions are made with raw earth bricks, wood, and a few industrial materials obtained from the market. They stand out for the complexity and diversity of the devices used for harvesting, storing and consuming water.(ISBN no disponible, consignado de versión anterior)
