Best Answer

First off, the Atacama has a cool climate, unlike hot deserts. People live in the same type of home they might live in elsewhere. Water is either piped in or is delivered by an aqueduct. In very isolated areas in might be brought in by truck. Since virtually no food crops can be grown there, almost all food has to be shipped in from other locations.
