You become self-sufficient. You’ll laugh when droughts hit. “My water comes from clouds, not your dam,” you’ll mutter smugly.
You’ll also notice the irony: we pay money for bottled water that’s often just filtered tap water. Meanwhile, free rain falls on our heads. It’s like paying for air.
So go ahead. Set up a barrel. Build a sand filter. Boil some sky juice. You’ll feel like a genius. And your friends will think you’re a little nuts. That’s the best part.
Now get out there. Catch some rain. Filter it. Drink it. The clouds are waiting.
